Black House: A Novel Audiobook

" A must read sequel to The Talisman "

" One of the best Antagonists in all of Kings works. "

" i wouldn't read anything this bigot writes. "

" This book made me look up that Albert Fish guy and I haven't been well since. "

" I had to stop this one about eighty pages in. I just couldn't get into it. Straub and King seem to have totally forgotten what made The Talisman so magical. There's no magic in Black House, at least not the small portion that I read. "

" So far, it's a primer in how to write a run-on sentence "

" Jack Sawyer is back as an adult cop with special powers he got from touching the talisman. Now he needs to solve a murder..... "

" Excellent sequel to The Talisman. The plot is as intricate and complex as its characters. I can't wait for the third book. "

" this one was a bit slow.... but nevertheless i could manage to get it finished .... "

" Ughhhhhhh!!!!!!!! That says everthing about the book! "

" I was disappointed with this book. I found it hard to get into, and was possibly, expecting too much, after all, "The Talisman", it's predecessor, was such an amazing read. After about 1/2 way into "Black House" I began to enjoy the story, but in the end, I could've done without. "

" Jake has grown and life continues. a bit dreary at the beginning but keep at it if you enjoyed The Talisman "

" This is an impressive novel for two reasons: it is a sequel to a novel with great weight (The Talisman) and it explores themes present throughout King's works (especially The Dark Tower; Roland is mentioned in passing). When combined that it is also a good read, that's a win. "

" i totally enjoyed reading this. I won't compare this to The Talisman as that brings down the book but i loved this. and the end!! "

" Very fun to read as I know some of the places described in this book. Peter Straub is from an area near where I grew up, and I recognised many of the locations. "

" Parts of this book were very interesting. Other parts were off the wall and boring. I was very disappointed after I finished the entire book. "

" Utterly magnificent - very different from The Talisman, but that's not a bad thing. A word of warning - this won't make a lot of sense without having a passing acquaintance with the first few Dark Tower books. "

" I loved Talisman and it was good to know that there is a sequel to it. This one is also a fun read. Jack has grown. The story becomes really interesting in the 3rd part. Great ending. No loose threads. Scenes are connected, leaving a sense of completion. "

" King and Straub have collaborated several times and it usually turns out pretty good! "

" just read this one, had issues with keepin entertained. "

" A little slow to start. Not a great fan of the "fly-on-the-wall" writing style. But half way through the book the pace picked up and it was great catching up with the hero of the story. "

" First 200 pages was too boring that i can read that part in one week, but the rest part was exciting and i couldn't stop myself reading "

" I tried reading The Talisman many years ago, as well as some of the Gunslinger series. After reading this book, I actually understand some of the connections and things make much more sense. This book inspired me to go back and attempt to read the other books again! "

" Stephen is truly the master. I couldn't put this one down. "

" One of my very favorites :) "

" One I've been meaning to reread for a while. If you liked the Dark Tower series, you'll like this. "

" I loved this series as a kid. It was my favorite of Kings books. I am going to read it again to see if it is still as good. "

" Muy buen libro, tiene un muy buen balance entre el terror (al final es de King), la aventura, y hasta acaba uno llorando. Al principio es un poco lento, pero en cuando la historia toma su camino, mejora y mejora y mejora =) "

" This is my favorite book. I don't know if it was my age when I read it, or what makes it so, but I just love this book. "

" This was one of the hardest books to put down. I got totally lost in the story and could think of nothing else for days. "

" This is good Sci-Fi/Fantasy at its best. Nothing really of horror in here that I remember. About a boy on a journey to save his mother. Lots of magic, etc. Read it as a teen. "

" This book was great, there was a charachter in particular (wolf) who really got to me, and it choked me up for days even after I read the book, just going back and thinking about it. "

" Love it !! Have read it heaps of times and still love it. "

" One of my favourite books. The sequel the black house is also amazing. "

" Absolutely love this book, I've read it twice. Such an epic journey and you absolutely fall in love with the characters. If I ever have a son I am naming him Jack Sawyer! "
