Too much philosophizing to a little kid

Revisado: 08-23-24

The book was really creepy! I loved it. Then the author robbed me of that by the almost non-stop parental angst (the mother’s voice in this made me want to slap her repeatedly) and overthinking (and way too much talking) about life and the meaning of life and people who makes mistakes and, and, and….. yah. Anticlimactic.

Worst narrator

Revisado: 08-16-24

Loved the story hated the narrator. The voices he used were awful and he whistled when he talks. Can’t even finish it.

Whiny Main Character

Revisado: 01-08-24

The narrator talks with her teeth. All
of her “d”s are “t”s and it drove me nuts. As these books continue though, the main character whines more, complains more, and insists on her independence and feminism while simultaneously making stupid decisions and leaning on men. She doesn’t work at being a witch and whines about her lack of confidence. She’s constantly complaining that she needs to “do better” and then consistently doesn’t. There isn’t much character growth in these books even given the limited subject matter. Sure would have been nice to see her growing into her power and relationships rather than increasing her complaints and blaming others for her own ridiculous decisions. But…

The End was rushed

Revisado: 11-28-23

Loved the story and characters but the author seemed to have the entire book wrapped up and tied with ribbons in the last hour of the book. The rest of the book wandered all over the characters’ lives so the end wasn’t as satisfying.

Good but feels unfinished

Revisado: 10-21-23

Loved the story and narration but it left me feeling like the end was missing an ending. Looking forward to the next book.

I’ve never listened to such a long book and still felt like it wasn’t long enough. Well done!!!

Meh. But not because of politics.

Revisado: 09-24-23

I have enjoyed getting to know Holly all this long while even before she had her own storyline. This book was frightening- but only in the ways every day life is frightening since 2016 for some and 2019 for others. It would have been nicer to escape the reality of our scary world and read something scarier. Maybe for Steven King, the current sociopolitical climate is as scary as it gets.

Terrible Narrator good story

Revisado: 08-26-23

Not sure I can finish listening. Might have to buy it as a Kindle book. The narration borders on painful.

The constant change in volume is excruciating

Revisado: 07-15-23

The narrator is clearly talented, but the constant increase and decrease in the volume of his reading makes hearing him really really hard and irritating for someone who is hard of hearing. There’s just no reason for this. I get that you’re being dramatic, but please keep in mind that you’re reading book not a screenplay.

VERY satisfying listen!

Revisado: 05-11-23

The narrator did a fabulous job, the story was interesting and engaging, and while I didn’t feel like I needed to stay glued to the book from start to finish, it kept me coming back. I’m sad I’m done with it.
