My advice would be to ignore comments about the narrator - his voice & tone are perfect for the book, in my opinion - and let the story take you away to the Territories.
I read the paperback something like 20 years ago, and this was a great way to re-read this epic tale.
Audible: please give us Black House!

I thought the book its self is excellent however the narrator took some getting used to. His voices were distracting to the story

Excellent story

I read this book years ago, and it was one of my Stephen King favourites.
This audio book is completely spoiled for me, by the choice of narrator.
Frank Muller's voice is SO monotonous that it completely removes any interest in the plot. The cadence of each sentence, paragraph, are so predictable as to render the subject boring!
Sorry I paid for the audible version, I'd have been better sticking to print!

Disappointing.

I love this book, I read it as a teenager and wanted to listen to it this time and was really looking forward to it. But while the story starts out just as great as I remember, I'm afraid I had to switch off at the end of the second chapter because I simply cannot listen to the narrator anymore. He reads too fast, there are no pauses, you cannot distinguished spoken word from thought, he whispers and draws out the last word of every sentence and he makes it sound as though he just wants to get the job done and pick up his paycheck.

I only have myself to blame I suppose as I did listen to the sample and I had read comments criticisimg the narration, but I thought that my love of the story would allow me to get over that. But no, I've had to switch off and start another book.

I'm very disappointed.

ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ALL TIME BOOKS RUINED
