Loved this book, my dad used to read this to me and my sisters when we were little. I didnt remember it, I was too young.. this is the first time reading it and it was amazing

Best fairy tale ever!

Best fairy tale of all time! King has outdone himself with this book! I loved it!

Great book.

I read this book years ago. I love it when I read and I loved listening to it.

Not your usual King

Beware all ye who enter here looking for the typical Stephen King story, for this is NOT it. Eyes of the Dragon is a fantasy novel written for a younger audience, yet surprisingly it drags more than some of his lengthier books. The story isn't bad, this is SK after all, but unfortunately Bronson Pinchot leaves a lot to be desired. He uses the same horrible accent for pretty much every character except Flagg who is so low pitched you can't even hear it. Casual fans can skip this one without missing much of anything.

Great read!

I am so glad I found this audiobook and I enjoyed every minute of the story.

My favorite work by Stephen King.

I come back to it over and over. Outstanding narration. I'm whisked away to other worlds than these each time I listen.

This was Stephen King?!

I had to keep checking to make sure that this was a King story. Not only is the type of story really different but the very telling...the word choice, sentence structure, and depth of story are all foreign sounding to this King super fan.

The performance however is OUTSTANDING.
