Literally Genius

Revisado: 08-25-24

Written like poetry to the ears. It is profound, beautiful, and heart wrenching. It is unfortunate that the whites who need to hear this will not .
They dwell in their whiteness. Listen to the pain and fear of black humans and know that American righteousness does not want the ugly truth to be known.

Open Your Heart ❤️ Open your mind

Revisado: 08-10-24

I had listed to Mad Honey 🍯 until 3:00 &4:00 in the morning. I have companion and wisdom for Lilly and other souls that were born in a body not identifying with who they are. Asher falls in love with who Lilly is. The bees are woven into the story reflecting the characters lives. I learned a great deal about bees, and the complexities of being transgender in a society that defines people as either male or female.

Gross Out Thriller

Revisado: 10-23-23

This is one of King's best. I've have read and now listed to his novels and short stories since the late 70s. I attended middle school. In High School I became a Stephen King fan with Night Shift. A girl I knew did a speech on The Body. I couldn't get enough. Back then, his novels didn't come out fast enough. Decades later, King has written more books that may take a lifetime to read and listen to.
King has written some really gross out subjects in some novels. Holly is the grossest with descriptions of the cunning killers dining on human body parts. It is a detective story and thriller with the horror of humans at that worst selves. I feared for Holly and Barbara. Mostly Holly being on her own. The climax of the novel is believable as the listener \reader is drawn in.

Sci-fi

Revisado: 10-20-23

Brady is through out the story with his obsession with suicide. Spoiler alert: his conscience takes over the bodies of other characters. He is powerfully manipulative getting his other targets to do and say what he wants. The climax has many twists and turns with Hodges and Holly against Brady.

Fast paced with Twists and Turns

Revisado: 10-15-23

I gave the story and the overall rating five stars. King always does fantastic character development. There is Morris an insane psychopath that is smart clever and sometimes sad. I only felt sorry for him when he's raped in jail. He becomes based with Jack the main character in the runner series. It reminds me of Misery in that Mortis does not like what the writer does in the second and third novel. There are the writers mule notebooks and money. The Dad of Peter and Tina survives Mr. Mercedes driving the stolen Mercedes into the people waiting in line at the job fair. There are connections in Finders Keepers to the first book in the series. Jerome, Barbara, Hopkins, and Holly come in later in the story. Will Patterson is a good narrator; however I think a woman should narrate the voices of the females. I couldn't stop listening. I swore at Peter. I know he's a 17 year old kid. Spoiler alert: I thought his decisions and actions would get his sister and family killed. I had been eating an apple with peanut butter when listening with King writing in some gross parts. I definitely lost my appetite.

Masterful

Revisado: 10-13-23

Will Patton is perfect for the ah version of Stephen King's Mr Mercedes. I listen many nights when I should have been sleeping. King created a real evil psychopath in Mr Mercedes, Bradly. King creates characters that are complex and human with flaws. He's a great story teller. The Stand is still my favorite. I grew up in time when high school kids read and talked about Stephen King novels and listened to vinyl.

Horrifying and Gripping

Revisado: 10-05-23

The story is horrific; and yet I couldn't stop listening. I needed to find out what happened with Lilia's ghost and Gail. The story brings the listener into the mind of a psychopath. The characters are well developed. I wanted so desperately for Lilia's killer to be caught before he kidnapped, tortured, and killed another child. The writer must have researched psychopaths and snakes. It is diabolical descriptive . My stomach fitted with fear for the children.

The Veil between the unknown

Revisado: 10-02-23

Who's to say what reality is and isn't for Teddy. White men believe in possession and demons, heaven and hell. People believe in Big Foot and other phenomenon. It is creepy and gripping. I couldn't stop listening. The story telling is raw and ethnic.

Aliens with us

Revisado: 09-30-23

The story is bizarre but captivating. I spent many nights listening too late in the night. I started thinking it would end badly when Guy found Nina in Alfred's office. The ending was surprising. I would hope for a second book to continue where this book left off.
