Publisher's Summary
The number one best seller: King at the peak of his powers - at once a first-rate suspense novel, a legal thriller, a haunted house story and a love story.
When Mike Noonan's wife dies unexpectedly, the best-selling author suffers from writer's block. Until he is drawn to his summer home, the beautiful lakeside retreat called Sara Laughs.
Here Mike finds the once familiar town in the tyrannical grip of millionaire Max Devore. Devore is hell-bent on getting custody of his deceased son's daughter and is twisting the fabric of the community to this purpose.
Three year old Kyra and her young mother turn to Mike for help. And Mike finds them increasingly irresistible.
But there are other more sinister forces at Sara Laughs - and Kyra can feel them too....

Great book
One of my favourite books by Stephen King that I have read countless times but to listen to it being read by the author himself added an extra dimension to the story.

Love and Ghosts
A beautiful and haunting love letter from the author to the reader, as well as the characters to each other.... Oh, and an excellent ghost story!

An exemplary audiobook
The Master in full flight. This is a very high quality production that ticks all of the boxes - a well-told spooky story, read by the author, very well recorded and produced with some light musical interludes, nice interview at the end. Run, Tabby run!

Hmm - not convinced.
What did you like most about Bag of Bones?
I liked the idea behind the story - about the wife finding out about something and trying to keep her husband safe, and then dying and him thinking she'd been cheating but she wasn't...
Would you recommend Bag of Bones to your friends? Why or why not?
No. It's too long winded. I also didn't feel the ending was right.
And definitely not the audio book - omg Stephen King's voice can rival nails down a blackboard
Would you be willing to try another one of Stephen King’s performances?
Nope. While I can see mega benefits of having the author reading his (or her) own novels, I just can't listen to Stephen King's voice.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
There were a few times I laughed and cried. But I'm not going to say when, as that would give away spoilers
Any additional comments?
If you don't mind Stephen King's voice then you might be happy to listen to this audio book.

exceptional
love when the author reads the story. It's one that draws you in to the very end. A ride with so many twists and turns it makes it hard to let go.

Interesting ghost story
Great story with a tragic twist. The music to break up the narrative is a welcome addition.

Perfect
I always love it when Stephen reads his own books. The use of instruments in this particular recording were second to none. The producer and the band should be applauded!

Quintessential Stephen King.
This is a terrific book, which I had read before and thought was one of his best. He reads and tells a story beautifully, and the music woven sporadically through was just right. A haunting and lovely tale that builds and grows and seeps into your bones.
