Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late-night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.

Mostly okay
Revisado: 05-26-23
The story is slow, but pretty good.
Narration is okay, but not a perfect fit for this novel.
The music though? Completely unnecessary, really irritating, painfully distracting, and just plain bad.

Rosie Daniels leaves her husband, Norman, after 14 years in an abusive marriage. She is determined to lose herself in a place where he won't find her. She'll worry about all the rest later. Alone in a strange city, she begins to make a new life, and good things finally start to happen. Meeting Bill is one, and getting an apartment is another. Still, it's hard for Rosie not to keep looking over her shoulder, and with good reason. Norman is a cop, with the instincts of a predator.

It’s all over the place
Revisado: 07-09-20
The story itself is fine though I’m not a fan of the “twist” ending with the main character and her weird shift in temperament. The main character, Rose, certainly lucks out when she leaves her abusive husband. It becomes unbelievable, but I suppose King is trying to tell us something about balancing the scales or something or other.
Said husband, Norman, is poorly written. He comes off as a purely evil; homophobic, racist, sexist, abusive, murderous, and cunning! Yet is a well respected cop who no one has a real problem with.
The book is fine, overall. The story is decent and moves along at a good pace, but it lacks in places. Norman is one; Rose at the end is another.
The narration is great, though. The narrator creates a perfectly immersive experience with an excellent spectrum of voices. My primary problem with the audiobook itself is the addition of some sappy piano music that makes the audiobook more akin to a
lifetime movie than a thriller. Other musical cue and sound effects become distractions from an otherwise excellent production.
Overall, glad I listened to it but it didn’t do much for me.

How did Fidel Castro fool the CIA for a generation? Why did Neville Chamberlain think he could trust Adolf Hitler? Why are campus sexual assaults on the rise? Do television sitcoms teach us something about the way we relate to each other that isn't true? While tackling these questions, Malcolm Gladwell was not solely writing a book for the page. He was also producing for the ear. In the audiobook version of Talking to Strangers, you’ll hear the voices of people he interviewed - scientists, criminologists, military psychologists.

Cynical and pointless
Revisado: 06-15-20
I really didn’t care for this book. Cynical to a fault, it does little to offer a point or a lesson or really a sense of morality or justice. There’s not a lot of insight here as Gladwell describes miscommunications and injustices that are already examined a million times over. There’s nothing here to sink your teeth into and nothing of interest to extract.

Historia2.5 out of 5 stars 7
After Zeus has learned that Prometheus stole his sovereign property, fire, and conveyed it to mankind, he orders Hephaistos, under the direction of Power and Force, to bind his adversary to an arduous crag of most difficult remoteness on the earth. As the Titan responds to this punishment, the reader is inspired with the fire of individual affirmation, devoted indomitably to life and liberty.

Rough
Revisado: 05-27-18
This is rough. No other way to describe it. The translation is difficult to understand. It reads like an audio play but with only two actors. It’s too dense to fully appreciate. Sorry.
