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....

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.

Great Story

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

Turn that damn “music” off

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).

Took me a while to get into

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.

Brilliant
