Frank Muller and Stephen King are a great pairing. The Talisman a great tale of a boy undertaking a great adventure in order to save the life of his mother.

Thoroughly recommend this one, especially if you like King's style of work.

One of his best. A mini Dark Tower

Was a really good story, not entirely sure about the plot though. But it did pull me in regardless.
The climax to the story a found a little to much was going on all at once and found it hard to follow

Wasn't sure about the sound quality

the hero of the story is 12 but the narrator sounds 112. it's a very strange choice.

very odd choice of narrator.

Seems to drag quite a bit in the beginning but I persevered and I'm so pleased I did. I absolutely loved this book.

As someone else mentioned the narrator does tend to end each sentence with a sigh. which is quite annoying at first but seems to get less and less as the book goes on. personally I love the voice and narration of Frank Muller and thanks to his excellent narration he brought the book alive.

So glad I stuck with it

Great story but I found the performance painfully drawn out. Was ok when accelerated to 1.5x speed though.

Listenable at 1.5x
