AN URGENT WARNING TO THE WORLD

Revisado: 11-24-23

I have watched the rise of a politically motivated drive to misinform, disinform and turn people against science with deliberate lies and "alternative facts".

This is appalling and Dr. Hotez is a true hero for standing up against those who have their own agendas. I say this as a combat veteran. The future I fought for is in serious peril. This book is an important wake up call.

few decades ago & was glad to find it here. Imagine this was published in 1951 so it was written even earlier.

One day all women & girls disappear from the Earth...at least it seems so to the men & boys. The same thing has happened to the women...all men & boys disappear. Planes & cars crash, bombs drop...

The story is how each sex handles this catastrophe. Even what we're doing to the planet is a thread throughout.

The author's philosophical conclusion of how & why this happened is so far ahead of its time--it's amazing. Another reviewer stated it's a "men are from Mars, women are from Venus" theme. Quite the opposite...as time passes after the initial event--you'll be surprised at this novel from 1951.

GREAT NARRATION BUT COULD DO WITHOUT SOUND EFFECTS

Revisado: 10-27-23

Sounds effects really annoying if your a going-to-sleep audiobook reader.

Have read or listened to virtually all of Stephen King's books & a big fan.

Not that crazy about the ending. Others probably like it. Recommend. Just realize there are screechy sound effects.

Another great thriller from Stephen King.

Revisado: 09-28-23

A great thriller & Will Patton is a terrific narrator. (My spouse & I were in small parts in one of Patton's movies!)

Make sure to also watch the 3 season, 30 episode series of MR MERCEDES on HULU adaptation. Had actually watched the series first. But you won't be repeating the same story AT ALL.

Brendan Gleeson as Bill Hodges, Jrerrel Jerome as as Jerome, Justine Luke as Holly, Harry Treadaway as Brady & the fantastic Breeda Wool as a much bigger player in the role of Freddie in the novel but with a different name.

Adds new scenes and a completely different ending.

King went on to add 4 other novels continuing the series:

FINDERS KEEPERS; END OF WATCH; THE OUTSIDER (which became a mini-series) and the most recent, HOLLY--set during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Great reads as always.

EXCELLENT STORY WITH SUCH UNUSUAL VILLAINS!

Revisado: 09-25-23

Set in the current time of COVID-19. I am so amused by the petty Trumper who are so exorcize by Holly's COVID precautions--mild compared to many people, particularly in 2021.

Great continuation of the character from Mr. Mercedes.

Kudos to Mr. King for writing a book incorporating the pandemic, which will be with us for some time to come.

I've researched COVID-19 & the SARSCoV2 virus for over 3 & 1/2 years. I'd love to see him take on a horror book related to a new spillover from one of the many non-human animal hosts with a high mortality rate.
