Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier, until he’s barely sleeping at all. During his late night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people’s heads, two strange little men wandering out after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.

    " I love this story, the narrator is a great actor & good narrator, but whoever thought adding the music in between chapters at the loud volume was wrong! It completely detracted from the story when I had to turn down my story volume every time the music started to play. Other than that, I would recommend! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Catherine | 2/19/2014

    " my favorite of his books "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Richard Houchin | 2/19/2014

    " While the philosophy in this story is a little garbled and maybe not the most ethical, it is well structured and provoking. Insomnia can be scary... "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Lyn Mckenzie | 2/14/2014

    " Loved this, i love how Stephen King incorperates charachters from other novels together "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 CJ | 2/6/2014

    " Well yes, it's long!! But, quite a good one for me but I've the idea that it's not for everyone. Insomnia, abortion, mental illness, and a matter of life and dead and the world in between. It has a good start, a bit slow in the middle, but regains it's enjoyable pace towards the surprisingly unexpected end! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 ✂ | 2/3/2014

    " This was a very interesting and well written book. Though not as gory as some of his other books, this is defiantly worth ready all 700 hundred (and then some) pages. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Shawn Savage | 2/1/2014

    " Possibly some of the greatest fiction ever written "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Angela Moruzzi | 1/10/2014

    " It was an ok book....if u have the time to read it do but it is very long but still good "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Tracy | 1/9/2014

    " Not a good book to read when you're an insomniac... "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Bethany | 12/13/2013

    " I didn't finish, but I'm finished. Usually Mr. King could make those weird little bald-headed doctors believable (maybe even scary) but not this time! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Phred | 12/13/2013

    " must read for dark tower connections. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Vesta Lynn | 10/17/2013

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 David Allan | 10/12/2013

    " Very bizarre tale. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Lynn | 10/6/2013

    " Excellent book. A little long in certain parts, but the end justifies the means. The characters are excellent and the story is engaging. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Robert | 9/10/2013

    " This book took awhile to get going like most of his books do, but once it did it was one of my fav. books from him. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 Trisha | 5/10/2013

    " Interesting book, but some parts of it moved a little slow. Not what I would consider to be one of his better books. With Stephen King it is sometimes hit or miss. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Linsie | 5/9/2013

    " One of my favorite Stephen King novels (not including the Dark Tower Series). I love it how almost all of King's books all filter back into Roland's world. "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Wendy | 4/24/2013

    " Its a hard read which made for a long read..I read it in between other books because I would start to lose interest and basically went back to it so I could finally finish it. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Andrew macgibbon | 3/21/2013

    " My all time favorite King novel. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Elvis | 4/30/2012

    " I wouldn't say it is a typical King's book, it is weirder. Completely insane but in a good way. You will not relax your brain but you will efficiently kill time. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Kyle | 4/1/2012

    " It's been a long time since I've read it, but I remember this being one of the first Stephen King novels I actually enjoyed since reading his classics (Christine, Four Seasons, Cujo, etc.) as a high schooler. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Paul Frymire | 1/12/2012

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Anne Rock | 12/31/2011

    " What an incredible story! It's a million storylines woven into a riveting journey. Love how it ties into the Dark Tower series! "

  • 2 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 52 out of 5 Joe O'c | 9/25/2011

    " Good; Good (guy w/ insomnia) vs. evil (invisible bald doctors) "

    " I read this for the first time when I was 10. It's on my shelf to read at least once a year, I love it that much. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Christina | 5/20/2011

    " Not as instantly readable as some of King's other books, but well worth the time to stick to it. Unfortunately, the made for tv movie ruined some of this book for me, so perhaps that's why it took me so long to finish. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Anna | 5/19/2011

    " I have read this book several times. I love the characters. "

  • 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5 David | 5/19/2011

    " The first half of the book is revetting; however, the ending is a real disappointment. There is a great build up for nothing. I actually expected more. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Clare | 5/17/2011

    " I think this is the only Stephen King book that I have ever truly enjoyed. I do like a bit of Science Fiction!! "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Nancy | 5/17/2011

    " Great book, except the very end. This is something that Stephen King does quite a bit, unfortunately. He tells a great story and uses a contrivance to finish it. It doesn't mean I stop reading; it's just a bit jarring. "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Sheeba | 5/16/2011

    " one of my favorite books of all time! "

  • 5 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 55 out of 5 Skip | 5/16/2011

    " King absolutely knows how to tell a story. I love the allegorical nature of the book, pitting good against evil. I'm not a person that loves post-apocalyptic stories, but King makes me want to love this genre. One of the best reads I've had in years. "

  • 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5 Deanna | 5/15/2011

    " This was the first Steven King book I ever read. I couldn't put it down. I read the entire book in a day. "
