Depressing

Revisado: 01-25-24

The story was interesting overall, but it’s clear that a lot was missing. The overall tone was very depressing.

It was an entertaining read and an interesting ending. I just didn’t love the story structure.

This is the best book yet in this wonderful series! The story is suspenseful and exciting while maintaining all of the sweetness and charm characteristic of this series. The extra special ending makes me excited for the next book!

On balance, I enjoyed the story.

Revisado: 06-23-20

Great premise and setting, but it feels more like a draft than a finished book. It needs to be edited for content to make the story tighter and more concise. That said, I did just buy the second book to listen to.
She has some great bones here and there were some gripping scenes. I just feel that she could have this edited for content and it would be so much better.

Riveting! Highly recommended.

Revisado: 03-31-20

This book is so good! I could not stop listening! It’s a story of young love mashed up with a dark and twisty murder mystery.

I loved the dream clues and symbolism, they added a dimension of anything-might-happen-next to the story. This definitely added to the tone of dread (and my chills!)

My heart was racing for the entire last half of the book. Smith’s writing style blends so well with the pacing, pushing the story forward like a freight train while still maintaining focus on the allegorical nature of the protagonist’s dreams. It was intense (in the best way)!

Becca C Smith is one to watch! I hope that Audible secures more of her books!

Had such potential, but EW.

Revisado: 04-11-19

I was loving the start of this creepy story. Then the story just became way way too dark. It is fun to have a little scare, but the story becomes so bogged down in filth that it is no longer fun or entertaining. ***SPOILER ALERT*** It jumps the shark right about the time that the loving daughter is told by prostitutes that her father liked to pretend that they were her. EWWWWWWW. SICK. It was no longer a fun story at that point, so I turned it off. Nobody wants to read that.

One of my favorite King novels!

Where does Doctor Sleep rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is an excellent audiobook! I could not bring myself to stop listening.

What other book might you compare Doctor Sleep to and why?

Naturally, I would compare it to 'The Shining' because this is the sequel. I think that it was an excellent sequel.

Have you listened to any of Will Patton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Not that I am aware of.

If you could rename Doctor Sleep, what would you call it?

Good question, but I'm drawing a blank.

Any additional comments?

There were such high expectations for a sequel to a book as well known and loved as 'The Shining". I am so pleased that 'Doctor Sleep' exceeded them all for me.

Amazing and comforting

Revisado: 10-01-13

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes! Theresa Caputo has an incredible gift. And she is fun and funny which gives a light-hearted feel to a serious book.If you like her TV show "Long Island Medium", you will love this book!

What did you like best about this story?

I don't know that I could pick a favorite part. What I loved the most were Theresa's insights and descriptions of her ability and readings. She makes the other side feel so familiar and close that it brings comfort to me.

What about Theresa Caputo’s performance did you like?

She is so funny and endearing!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was moved by so many of her stories about specific readings. They helped put her descriptions of her gift and of spirit, in context.

Any additional comments?

I hope that she writes another book soon!

A fascinating perspective

Revisado: 08-07-13

What did you love best about These Few Precious Days?

I could stop listening to this book. It provided a unique and fascinating perspective on this legendary couple, but simultaneously humanized them in a way that I have not experienced in any other books on this topic. They are portrayed as two beautiful, intelligent, and flawed individuals navigating both personal and historical highs and lows. It was incredibly interesting, beautiful, and tragic - just like "September Song" the poignant song which gives the book its title.

What was one of the most memorable moments of These Few Precious Days?

Of course there were many memorable excerpts, but the part that spoke the most to me was how the tragic loss of their newborn, Patrick, brought them closer than ever in the months before the assassination.

What does Robertson Dean bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Robertson Dean was the perfect narrator for this book, in my opinion. It required his unque combination of sensitivity and gravitas.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

It was all very moving.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book even though it was so heartbreaking.
