About this listen
You'll lose a lot of sleep.... Ralph does. At first he starts waking up earlier. And earlier. Then the hallucinations start - the colours, shapes and strange auras. Not to mention the bald doctors who always turn up at the scene of a death.
That's when Ralph begins to lose a lot more than sleep. When he begins to understand why his hitherto mild-mannered friend, Ed, is getting out of control - dangerously so. And why his hometown is about to become the new Armageddon....

Great Story
I Love this book, I've read it a number of times and listening to it was amazing. Having an older man read it for it quite well, it's a shame about the musical scores in it though. Horrible jangling scores that hurt the ears and rarely fit into the story.

Turn that damn “music” off
The BIG and only drawback about this audiobook is the offensive annoying discordant blasts of “music” interspersed throughout. This does not add to the story or performance in any way, apart from in a detrimental one.
Went close to ruining the experience

Took me a while to get into
This story is very busy and an interview I read with King had him saying this book tried to hard. That said, it is exciting to go back and learn more about Derry (especially with the slight hints towards It).

Brilliant
loved this book. Had read the hard copy years ago and love it then but the narrative gave it so much depth. could easily listen to it over & over. Stephen King is a genius.

The music/sound effects aren’t too bad
Another reviewer called the distorted guitar “screeching” if I recall. I listened to Insomnia through speakers, headphones, and just playing through the iPhone speakers and it was only really bad in some moments when the volume was turned way up with headphones in. I actually thought the “screeching” music was quite fitting — probably what I’d use for a S King narrated book to be honest.
Overall, it’s a good book. Some crossovers with his other works but I wouldn’t call it one of his best. Glad to take this beast down from the ‘unread’ bookshelf after several years gathering dust.

Why the music?!?
God awful music bites throughout the story. Too loud. Painful to the eyes and adds nothing to the story.

Music over narration
The Music over the book story narration is too far loud and not needed.
Would be much better without it.

Horrible music
The music should be taken off, it is too loud over the narrator and easily gives you a headache. Made it hard to keep with the book.

Good but the sound effects/music was annoying
This was a solid King book - good but a little bloated in places. However, the production put in sound effects/music at the end of the chapters and some sections of the text. It was quite loud and annoying as it made the narrator hard to hear. I also listen to these as I fall asleep so the sound effects were intrusive and unnecessary.
