Love Stephen King

Revisado: 09-18-22

I really love Stephen King's writing. Even the stories I don't care for, I still admire the writing. This book I loved both. You get a great story written to keep you engaged and it's long enough to definitely be worth your credit. If that's not enough, you get a cameo by the man himself! Loved it when I recognized his voice.

Lecture

Just one very long lecture. I let it play for several chapters and never got to any actual training. Returned.

Children's book?

Revisado: 08-07-18

Does the narrator think this is a children's book? The way she reads it brings to mind a librarian, dressed as a witch, reading books to children around Halloween. I can actually picture her holding the book so we can follow along and see the pictures. The story is great. Horrible but great. It doesn't deserve this stage narration.

It's a book, not a recital.

Revisado: 02-22-18

I enjoyed the story and I enjoyed the narrator, what I didn't enjoy was the music in-between chapters. It threatened to drown out the narrator in places and it took me out of the story.

Who cares?

Revisado: 11-14-14

The story idea was weak, but okay. The twist felt like an afterthought that had to be pieced into the already finished product.

The characters were unlikable. Most characters have at least one redeeming quality and those are the characters you're not supposed to like. I just couldn't care what happened to these people. When the time came for character transformations, they were so unrealistic and unsubstantial, I couldn't really be made to believe that the changes actually happened, let alone stuck long term.

This story and its characters were such a waste of time that when I woke up after nodding off halfway though, I didn't feel I missed enough substance during my three hour nap to warrant backtracking.

I was sorely tempted to return this book.

P.S. Dear author,

I've hardly ever heard the happy birthday song sung in any way OTHER than accapella so how is THAT supposed to be what's mournful about it?

Also, if your epilogue is needed to explain and tie together THAT much of your story, you need another rewrite before publishing.

Summary fails

Revisado: 07-25-13

I'll tell you what the summary fails to....all these stories are about cannibalism in some way. Not scary...disgusting. I'm trying out authors I've never listened to before and this one I will never listen to again. I gave these stories 4 hours and they NEVER got better. This was the worst book I've ever purchased. No more Jack Kilborn for me.

Prologue 1 ... Prologue 2 ... Prologue 3 ...

Revisado: 04-30-13

Still an interesting enough story but my goodness, just how many prologues does one book need?
