Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“King’s earlier books were full of phantasms and demons, but he grows ever more adept at rooting his dark thoughts and toughest struggles in reality…He remains amazingly resourceful. He’s so good at scaring that he can even raise goose bumps when he writes about the measles.” —New York Times
“King is a pro: by the end of this book your fingers will be mere stubs of their former selves, and you will be looking askance at the people in the supermarket line, because if they turn around they might have metallic eyes.” —New York Times Book Review
“This is vintage King, a classic good-vs.-evil tale that will keep readers turning the pages late into the night. His many fans won’t be disappointed.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“King clearly revels in his tale…His cast of characters is as memorable as any King has produced…Satisfying at every level. King even leaves room for a follow-up, should he choose to write one—and with luck, sooner than three decades hence.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A gripping, taut read that provides a satisfying conclusion to Danny Torrance’s story.” —Publishers Weekly
“Will Patton’s delivery enhances King’s prose in ways that make King’s work so much more enjoyable in audio than just reading it…Patton’s narrative voice captures the rhythm of King’s words. His character voices, filled with a variety of regional American accents, remain consistent. Most importantly, the sinister aspects that embody characters and moments of this novel are superbly executed and will certainly leave listeners on edge.” —AudioFile
