The Dark Half Audiobook

" Stephen King is one of my favourite authors. I have read about 2/3 of his work. I had never read this one though. I don't know how I missed it!! This story is so good. I couldn't put it down. Grover Gardner is one of my favourite narrators as well. I always feel that he brings the characters to life so well in my imagination. I love the idea of this story as well. "

" My first experience with King was reading this book as a junior in high school. I loved it then, and have rated it based on that first reaction. Not as good as The Shining or Misery, but an interesting exploration of writerly madness. "

" This is the second Stephen King book I read after Bag of Bones, I enjoyed it but I didn't enjoy it as much as Bag of Bones. "

" This is his best book ever written. I loved it immensely. "

" The premise is one of the better ones that King has ever come up with. A writer of literary fiction creates a pseudonym to write violent crime fiction, but when he decides to "kill" his alter ego he comes to life. The problem is that the novel takes this premise too literally. The book might be a hundred pages too long and if King had made the horror elements more subtle it would have been much better. This was one of those King novels I had a hard time getting through. "

" Part of a phase Stephen King went through when he was absolutely obsessed with analyzing himself as a writer. He wrote nothing good during that phase. "

" Brooding novel. "

" Standard fare Stephen King, though a little gorier than usual. Or maybe I'm just getting more squeamish as I get older? "

" This book is about a writer writing book under a pen name and somehow that name is use when people start dieing in various ways. This book will keep you wonder how it happened. One guy get beaten up to death by his prosthetic arm. "

" una mitad que nadie quiere conocer..... admirable "

" Not his best, but still pretty damn good. "

" I wasn't expecting to like it, but it quickly reeled me in. A real page turner until the end. The epilogue could have been a little better though. "

" definitely not my favorite King book. The ending wasn't very thrilling. He also doesn't explain how his Dark Half could really exist. I guess he did but it wasn't plausible. I can suspend disbelief, but not this time. "

" I think this started well but was a very long book and dragged on and on..... "

" Stephen King on autopilot pretty much. Not satisfying, another deus ex machina ending (he specialises in these). Characters barely there. A plodder rather than a page turner. He has written much better. "

" I have no idea on how I managed to get 300 pages into this crap. The characters are 2-dimensional and most of it is gore just for the sake of it. "

" I would give this 3 1/2 stars. Not bad but not one of his best. "

" Stephen King's finest novel. Alexis Machine is a fantastic literary creation. "

" I wonder every time I see sparrows. "

" This is another of my favorite reads by King. It was scary and very well told. It is about an author who slowly becomes the character that he writes about. "

" This one was just too evil for me. "

" This is one of my most favorite horror stories...Thad old hoss! "

" Really great story that makes you think uncomfortable thoughts about the nature of your own psyche. I loved it! "

" Very disturbing and graphic book. Stephen King knows how to describe the gritty details.. Not one of his more popular books, but I quite enjoyed it. Based on a writer and his most famous character coming to life. Very sci-fi. "

" I can't believe I forgot to put this book in my list of read books. I read it twice, and I've been afraid of black birds since I read it. I don't remember which bird, a crow or raven, blanketed the land where the guy lived, but I've been afraid of black birds since I read this book. "

" I could see this coming from something that King would worry about on a daily basis. I know that any sighting of Richard Bachman would scare me--and I didn't even create him. "

" A quick, easy read once you get into it. The plot is fairly simple and straightforward (for a King book, anyway) and the book isn't muddled by too many characters as some of SK's books can be. Maybe not the best of King's works, the but certainly worth the read if you are a fan. "
