First of all, because I have a 20 mile commute to work so I'm in the car a lot. But also because I work in a bakery. Two days out of the week my shift starts at 1:30 in the morning and I'm by myself for several hours mixing the various breads. So that's ideal time to listen to books as well. Others have already given recommendations on other King works on audio-book. I would second the suggestion to listen to as much Frank Muller as you can get your hands on. In terms of King's work, It was possibly one of the best audio-books I have ever listened to. Steven Weber narrates the book and while he goes a little over the top at times, he throws everything he has into the performance and does an amazing job. On the subject of audio-books does Ms. Mod or anyone happen to know if The Stand is ever going to be released on audio-book format?
    Ah...the elusive The Stand AB....I always thought Steven Weber would be great for The Stand.

    I have not heard this one but next time I go to our used book store,I will definitely look for Duma Key. They carry lots of audios and at decent prices.

    Just got done listening to this. Really great job by Slattery. I don't listen to many audiobooks, so this isn't really high praise coming from me, but it was easily the best audio I've listened to. I'm sure I would have still loved the book if I had read it myself but the excellent narration really brought the characters to life and enhanced the already great story.

    I just finished listening to Duma Key over the Labor Day weekend. It was absolutely fantastic. John Slattery did an amazing job. This is definitely one of my favorite SK books that I've read. Loved the change in voices for characters and I felt that they fit all of the characters pretty well. Definitely a must re-listen.

    Just finished UTD audiobook and moved one to Duma. Was thrilled to hear John doing the narration. I love it so far. The narrator for UTD was OK but some voices didn't work for me.
