I liked the first half better, even though I knew it to be just a prelude to the main story. Not one of my favourites, but a good read nonetheless. ( )

Buen y entretenido libro, quizás algo distinto a lo que nos tiene acostumbrados el gran Stephen King. ( )

This is a big book but it kept me interested and engaged the whole way through. It really shows off King's mastery of storytelling. The world revealed is complex with a rich history. The characters are wonderful, and the plot constantly evolves. ( )

I absolutely adored this. It felt like a universe next door to the Dark Tower, which I love dearly, and the weaving of fairy tales into a new pattern was a delight. ( )

This was the audiobook version of the book Fairy Tale by Stephen King. Right off the bat I want to say that my outlook on this book was/is somewhat biased based on the fact that I did not like the reader, Seth Numrich. Just had a hard time getting past him. I liked Charlie and Mr. Bowditch, I liked Charlie's backstory, I liked Mr. (Howard) Bowditch's strange past, I liked Radar. As for the storyline, I like the discovery of the well and what comes after. I liked the location and the characters that followed. I liked the mystery, the horrors, the descriptions and the strange and wonderful sights and sounds. What I didn't like was the reader, I couldn't get past his vocalizations. This is obviously a personal thing, there times where his sounds, emphasis, and phrasing I just couldn't handle and was believable, which is a big thing for me and audiobooks. I want to believe the reader, I want to imagine that the story happened. And it just didn't for me with Mr. Numrich. I would have been better off to have just read it (as in not listening to it). Because of my likes and dislikes three stars is about all I can give it, though if I had read it I probably would have given it a better rating. This is a title for anyone who enjoys adventures, the fantastical, a coming of age story, suspense, and of course Mr. King. ( )
