This book was very short (only 2 CDs), basically a short story, by Stephen King, one of my favorite authors.It tells the story of a college kid going to visit his mom, who had a stroke (I won't say more because I think any revealed detail in this kind of story could be a spoiler, and I hate them).
The story is ok, nothing great, and I found out they even made a movie based on it. I'd like to see it, but I'm afraid it might not be very good. King's books very rarely turn into good movies, but I love his style and the worlds he can create.
The book was read by Josh Hamilton, an actor, and he totally confirmed my opinion that actors make better audio-book readers then writers (see my earlier post on this topic).
All considered, given its shortness, I would recommend it, even if it's not one of King's best works.
Grade: 6.5
