held hostage by a six year old--pure hell.

What made the experience of listening to It's a Good Life the most enjoyable?

the characters really did a good job of getting across the emotion of fear they were living constantly.

Who was your favorite character and why?

the man who challenged anthony near the end. he at least tried to change the situation the whole town was in.

Which character – as performed by Stacy Keach and Mike Starr – was your favorite?

everyone. the portrayals were wonderful.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

oh sure. it was one of the shortest pieces i ever listened to. but it was a great story.

Any additional comments?

i saw this on tv and i think the audible version is better due to the fact they could not depend on visual to tell the story. they really portrayed what was going on well.

The most nightmarish existence imaginable.

There's feelgood stories and there's stories that makes you feel bad. This one is pure hell. Don't get me wrong. It's a fantastic idea for a story. It's just that hard to listen to. The boy in this story makes Damien look like an angel.

A classic T Z episode.

One of the Best Episodes

A great rendition of one of the best episodes ever. The little boy even sounds like a young Billy Mummy. Great cast and very suspenseful.

Not too fond..

The story differs a bit from the Original Zone episode & the narrator voices are a bit cheesy.
