"George Guidall is the narrator"
I have just started this audibook and was disgusted to discover that George Guidall is the actual narrator. He also narrated the first book. Frank Muller narrated books 2 to 4, and in my opinion is a far superior narrator. For example, I liked the way Frank had Roland sounding like a cowboy, and Eddie sounding like a New Yorker. With George, all the ka-tet sound like each other, even Oy the billy-bumbler sounds like the other characters.
It is going to be hard to enjoy the book.
"Protect your twin"
The ka-tet arrive in a small town with a sad past. The town is strange in that all the offspring are twins; and the bond between twins seems to be of importance to the mysterious wolves, who kidnap one of the twins every so often, and return them 'ruint' or 'ruined'. It is up to the ka-tet to defeat the wolves with the help of the minister who originally appeared in 'Salem's Lot'.
