About this listen

Everything is familiar. But everything has changed.

Coming back to the little community is like walking into a nightmare for Jim Gardener, poet, drunk, potential suicide.

It all looks the same: the house; the furniture; Jim's friend, Bobbi; her beagle (though ageing); even the woods out at the back. But it was in the woods that Bobbi stumbled over the odd, part-buried object and felt a peculiar tingle as she brushed the soft earth away.

Everything is familiar. But everything is about to change.

©1987 Stephen King (P)2010 Penguin Audio Horror Suspense Thriller & Suspense Scary

My first Audio book. Loved it. Great story which I was aware of as I had been advised to read this and I have read past SK books all of which I have enjoyed. I drive a lot so I wondered how good an audio book would be well it was super reading and I was able to focus on the story as well as drive. I look forward to trying more.

My first ever audio book.

Another great book by Stephen King with memorable characters you feel like you know so well. The Tommyknockers had me laughing and even gave me a tear for 4 year old David Brown. I would definitly recommend.

Fantastic

Super story with some fantastic characters. I loved the insidious menace of "becoming" and the way it corrupted characters that you felt empathy for but ultimately wanted to fail. Grim, gory and glorious in equal measure.

If you go down to the woods today... beware!

I love Stephen King but I didn’t like this book. It was too descriptive and drawn out for me.

Not for me.

I have always loved this story, I've read it dozens of times. The narrator in this one is also perfect.

Mesmerising

I love King's older books and this one is better than I remembered. Saying that, I did find the ending went on and on and on. Definitely worth listening to though.

Original story but goes on a bit

Arggg took me 3 attempts to get into this one! Not one of his best but ok, I had to see it through to the end!

Not one of my favs

l really enjoyed the book. Would I recommend it? Definitely. The reader was especially great.

Gripping story

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Unusual for me to find a king novel overly long, but given the events in Tommyknockers it felt like about a third too long. Not his most engaging story, but not bad

It got there in the end

Read the book previously and loved it. Just as good listening to it on audible, Edward Herrmann doing a great job as narrator!
