![]() ![]() This novel is long, but if you grew up in the 50,s 60 s, or 70 s, you will probably feel a sense of nostalgia. For some, the book was too long, and others never wanted it to end. I read the reviews before buying this audiobook, and was surprised by the vast differences in reviewer opinion. It outranks his sci fi stuff in my opinion, as does the Terror. I’ve just finished it, and it’s one of the few audiobooks that I’m sad it’s over. DS CAN drag in some books, but this is one of his best. ![]() The supernatural is not overplayed (but don’t buy if you don’t like ancient stuff bringing the dead to life stories). ![]() do you like long books? Both SK and DS are often accused of having poor editors, but I like these types of narratives that draw you into another world set in another time The narration is great! The voice never gets in the way of the characters, and the many drama scenes are better for a flatter treatment, it allows you to build your own pictures better. This book builds slow, has surprises and ends with a bang. It’s scary, but it’s flawed, along with other sk stuff, which in my opinion, suffer from weak endings, they always fade out into mystical stuff about long lost this and that’s. ![]() It’s a great evocation of 50s / 60s American childhood. If you are trying to decide about this book, and new to DS, then you should consider: - did you like IT by King? I love IT, read it 3 times. ![]()
