I have read/listened to a lot of Stephen King books recently, and I’ve very much enjoyed the experience. Mostly I’ve listened to his more recent works, and many reviewers claim the older stuff is better, so I checked out Salem’s Lot, written, I think in 1970. Stephen King himself gave an introduction to the audiobook,Continue reading “Salem’s Lot – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 02.11.23”

If It Bleeds (AUDIOBOOK) – Stephen King – 23.10.23
I listened to this collection of short stories because I love the Holly Gibney books, and one of these stories features her (it’s a sequel to The Outsider, and since I read it after Holly, I’ve got my chronology a bit off!). I actually thought all the stories were very strong and affecting and thoughtContinue reading “If It Bleeds (AUDIOBOOK) – Stephen King – 23.10.23”
Holly (AUDIOBOOK) – Stephen King – 17.10.23
I’m still on my Stephen King Holly Gibney odyssey, and this is one of my favourite so far. SPOILER ALERT – don’t read this review if you haven’t read the other books in the series yet. Holly is still reeling from the death of her partner Bill Hodges, and has to come to terms withContinue reading “Holly (AUDIOBOOK) – Stephen King – 17.10.23”
The Outsider (Audiobook) – Stephen King (Author), Will Patton (Narrator) – 15.10.23
I’m really enjoying reading/listening to the Stephen King Holly Gibney books. This one starts with a small town police officer investigating a horrible child murder where the DNA of a local well loved baseball little league coach is all over the crime scene, but he also has a rock solid alibi for the time ofContinue reading “The Outsider (Audiobook) – Stephen King (Author), Will Patton (Narrator) – 15.10.23”
End of Watch – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 10.10.23
This third and final book in the Bill Hodges (Mr Mercedes) trilogy is the first to delve fully into the supernatural/horror genre. Holly ended Brady Hartsfield’s killing spree in Mr Mercedes by bashing him over the head with a cosh and causing serious brain damage. Bill always suspected that Brady was hiding how much awarenessContinue reading “End of Watch – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 10.10.23”
Finders Keepers (AUDIOBOOK) – Stephen King – 26.09.23
This is the second book in the Mr Mercedes trilogy. Retired detective, Bill Hodges, has set up a detective agency with the lovely autistic Holly Gibney and the main plot of this book revolves around Pete, the son of a man who was badly injured in the incident that opened the first book in theContinue reading “Finders Keepers (AUDIOBOOK) – Stephen King – 26.09.23”
Mr Mercedes – Stephen King – 18.09.23
Somebody on Rick O’shea (the booklovers group that I follow in Facebook) was excited about the release of Holly, by Stephen King, which is the third book in a series of which Mr Mercedes is the first. I realised that I’d had this book on my kindle for a while, but not read it, soContinue reading “Mr Mercedes – Stephen King – 18.09.23”
11.22.63 – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 08.06.23
I very much enjoyed listening to this audiobook! Loved the story, loved the narrator, I even loved the bit at the end where the author talks about writing the book! I’m back from my recent trip to Japan and one of the things I brought back was a kit to make a miniature old fashionedContinue reading “11.22.63 – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 08.06.23”
Billy Summers – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 06.02.23
One of my favourite audiobooks last year was Stephen King’s Fairytale, so I was excited to listen to this book. Of course the subject matter is very different. This novel follows Billy (one of his many aliases) who is a killer for hire with a conscience, in that he will only kill ‘really bad guys’.Continue reading “Billy Summers – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 06.02.23”
Fairy Tale – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 19.09.22
I really loved this book! I’ve read a few Stephen Kings, but this was very different – not horror (although there were some moments of gruesome violence), but, as the title proclaims, this is a fairy tale. The main character is a seventeen year old American boy, Charlie, who lost his mother to a roadContinue reading “Fairy Tale – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 19.09.22“
