The Tommyknockers Audiobook

" I enjoyed Edward Herrmann's narration of The Tommyknockers so much, that I zipped through this book in just a few days! I couldn't put it down. He has a great way of differentiating the characters through the tones of his voice. He was very easy to listen to, very smooth with a good rhythm. "

" Among the weakest of King's work. "

" one of the books i liked the least. i find the movie bad as well "

" At first it is slow and I almost gave up on reading it. However, right about the third chapter I couldn't put it down. I did not find it frieghtening but it was sometimes very intense. The story focuses on Roberta (Bobbie)Anderson who is a wild west writer of sorts in a town called Haven, Maine. She finds a metal spaceship in the woods behind her house and begins to try and unearth it. She feels it is communicating to her and telling her things. The book involves all sorts of chracters, plots and twists. Each character has its own quality that kept my interst. It does have some violence which didn't thrill me and I would not recommend to younger kids or teenagers but as an adult it did not horrify me to much since the plot involved aliens it was hard to really take it seriously. The story is mostly about the effects that the radiation has on the town people rather than the aliens themselves. Then there is Bobbi's friend, Jim Gardner who is a drunken poet sporting a metal plate in his head is never affected by the radiation. I dont remember the ending but I do remember how I felt, it was like going for vanilla ice cream and all they have is chocolate. "

" Scared the heck out of me. Kind really knows how to paint a picture to get into your head. "

" I remember it being scary and a pretty good read - the space alien aspect didn't interest me as much as teh story lines in some of his other long books. "

" This was one of my first Stephen King reads. Had me up all night reading it under the covers of my blanket with a flashlight to shine my way from word to word. "

" so much better than the movie "

" Never got past the second chapter "

" Ho-lee crap do I never want to hear about nuclear power ever again. "

" Had to go back to a good old Stephen King book to remind me of my teenage years. This was kind of long in the middle - but still good. "

" To date, this is the only King novel I really don't care for. To be fair, though, my 2nd least favorite is Dreamcatcher, so maybe I just don't like King writing about aliens. "

" A book that's just crying out for a remake - it would make a tremendous miniseries. "

" Fantastic, I assumed Stephen King's writing would be dry. I'm going to have a lot of catching up to do on his novels! "

" While I enjoyed most of the Stephen King novels I have read, I did not like this one at all. This one just seemed to bizzare. I didn't even finish it. "

" I needed to finish it, and it was good. "

" Entertaining, and this is one of the King titles that has stuck out more in my head over the years. Still, it seemed a bit mediocre, although I did enjoy it. "

" I read this a long time ago ... And I remember being very creeped out. I vowed never to read another Stephen King book again. "

" This is the only King book that I have never finished. I have started this book two or three times but just cannot make myself keep reading it. In my opinion this is one of the worst books he has ever written. "

" I've read this book a couple times and enjoy the movie also. I love a great alien story, haha. "

" Very amusing except for the end didn't like the ending again. "

" I am still afraid of the Tommyknocker man and here the poemish thing in my head sometimes when I'm scared. "

" I must have read this book 15 years ago and i still have dreams my teeth are falling out! "

" This book was very scary and I felt bad for the people in the story. "

" I liked this, but I totally see why he got sober IMMEDIATELY AFTER this one. "

" It's been a long time but if I remember I thought the end was weak. I'd like to have time to read it again someday and see how I feel about it now. "

" Great book - the movie was absolutely dreadful. "

" Long and hard to get through at some points nevertheless a great piece of literature that I had a good time reading. "

" I loved this book. Found it to be as exciting, weird and compelling as The Shining. I have quite literally not been able to put it down for the last several days. I already look forward to revisiting it in a couple of years. "

" The movie messed me up because I wasn't finished and I said this ending is terrible but again I watched the movie before I finished the book will not make the same mistake againSalem's lot is better "

" So much better than the shitball miniseries.. Did that shit have Jimmy Smits in it for christ sake? "

" Favorite book since I was a child, have read it many times. "

" I forgave SK for this by the numbers thriller when I read he was hooked on something (believe it was Robitussin) and didn't really remember writing it or Cujo. "

" One of the scariest books I'd ever read at the age of 14. I'd say this book introduced me to true terror. Looking back, it's not nearly as disturbing as it was then. It's still a fantastic plotline, and King's writing can always hold my interest. "

" I don't think Stephen King can write a bad book. Definitely a must read (even though some of his other works are better). I wouldn't miss reading this one. "

" Worst book I've ever read, hands down. "
