About this listen

A game. A husband and wife game. Gerald's Game. But this time Jesse didn't want to play.

Lying there, spread-eagled and handcuffed to the bedstead while he'd loomed and drooled over her, she'd felt angry and humiliated. So she'd kicked out hard. Aimed to hit him where it hurt. He wasn't meant to die, leaving Jesse alone and helpless in a lakeside holiday cabin.

Miles from anywhere. No one to hear her screams. Alone. Except for the voices in her head that had begun to chatter and argue and sneer....

I wasn't sure why there was music playing at odd intervals throughout... It made me snaps out of the story but it was a good performance and awesome story

This story is on par with Misery. It is intense and hard to stop listening to. I couldn't wait to see what happened next. Lindsay Crouse does the narration perfectly.

Thanks to King for his brilliance and Crouch for bringing this book alive.

Wow

A lab interesting story that is difficult to listen to in parts due to graphic accounts of child abuse and trauma. The problem is King writes so well, and thus one can picture the disturbing scenes.

Not for the feint-hearted

This is a great book and read brilliantly. the only gripe I have is with the weird sound effects played at seemingly random intervals.

Classic King

I had just watched the Netflix film so really fancied reading the book but I sadly found it to be mostly a boring and long slog and on this occasion I prefer the film. However I thought the last two chapters to were great which bumps it up a star. I also felt the narrator did her best but her performance was a bit dull at times, I think because all of the voices pretty much sounded the same. I probably won't return to this title unfortunately.

Sadly felt like a chore to finish
