I would like to think that what I have written here will reach the 'man' himself. I have just purchased The Talisman via audible after enjoying so many of Mr Kings book on audio due to the fantastic choices of narrators. Unfortunately whoever gave permission/employed Frank Muller to read this book has made a grave mistake. His voice is monotonous and his choice to 'whisper' practically every last word of each sentence borders on hilarity. A pity because the reviews are quite dire for what I'm sure could be a very intriguing novel poor narrator choice has lead to me switching off what waste of money....

Just finished reading this book - had been greatly anticipating it. Really, REALLY liked it. It reminded me of The Dark Tower series on so many levels: the mulit-verse, the twinners, the creatures that resembled low men, flipping between worlds and of course the Black Hotel that is reminicent of the scary house Jake had to enter to find Roland again. Over all, an amazing book. Can't wait to start Black House tonight.

Amazing. I read 99% of the book in two days, then couldn't bring myself to read the last 20 pages for another two days. I guess I just didn't want it to end, or maybe I was afraid of how it would end.
