Publisher Description

A Rare Live Stephen King Recording!

Stephen King delivers a haunting, heartfelt performance as he shares a story about the bonds between husbands, wives and pets.

LT has a theory about pets, particularly his Siamese cat. It had been their cat not just his cat, but that was until he came home one day to a note on the fridge. His wife had left him.

The cat stayed behind...

Recorded live at London's Royal Festival Hall, LT's Theory of Pets demonstrates yet again that Stephen King is a master storyteller.

"This was a really fun audio book to listen to. Stephen King does a good job with the reading, he has a real sense of comic timing, and his characterization of LT is great. As expected, even Stephen King's comedic writing ends up having its dark side."

— Elaine (4 out of 5 stars)

Quotes

  • “King has…an easy, relaxed style that works well here…King loyalists should be pleased to add this mid-range item to their collections.”

    " A superb little story. Stephen King is amazing in the fact that he can write a thousand pound tomb or fire off a quick short story and they are both fufilling. I usually don't care for an ambiguous ending but in the case of Moo Moo Bell, it fit. "

    " This is a great story for couples who have their differences in pets. It's read by SK and I love those audio books because having the author read his own story is always the best way to get the real feel of it. "

    " I liked most of this story; 3/4 of the way through it was very funny. The ending was very dark and I wasn't expecting it, but I should have expected it since it is a Stephen King story after all. I did like his narration, but being a live recording, the sound quality wasn't the best. "

    " My favorite part was listening to my favorite author in my ears telling me a story. And at first I thought the live audience would be a distraction but it was fun hearing their responses throughout the story. "

    " I listened to this on cd. The author (Stephen King) is the one who read it and it was interesting listening to him read his own book. He read it how he meant it to be told. So, in that aspect I liked it, on the other hand, there was a lot of language in it that could be offensive. "

    " Thought provoking as always, King tells his tale of marriage and loss and pets in a way that makes you feel as if you were in the audience listening to him read it live, which is, of course, how the CD was recorded. "
