Publisher's Summary
Creating George Stark was easy. Getting rid of him won't be....
The sparrows are flying again. The idea - unbidden, inexplicable - haunts the edge of Thad Beaumont's mind. Thad should be happy. For years now it is his secret persona, George Stark, author of superviolent pulp thrillers, who has paid the family bills. But now Thad is writing seriously again under his own name, and his menacing pseudonym has been buried forever. And yet...the sparrows are flying again, and something is terribly wrong in Thad Beaumont's world.

Stick with it...
I love Stephen King, but this one gets a little slow in the middle - but trust me, don't give up on it. I just left it for a couple of months then came back to it, and in the end "couldn't put it down". The reader is excellent.

King + Grover Gardner = Unbeatable combination
A solid Stephen King yarn, elevated even further by Grover Gardner's phenomenal performance. It doesn't quite reach the heights of their recording of 'The Stand' but it's still a good time.

a unqiue take on persona duality
Really loved this tale and especially how bore down into the writers mindset posing the question it is the who writes the story, or the character driving the writers hand?

Predictable and boring
I'm a SK fan but I wish I hadn't bothered with this one I fast forwarded half of the chapters to reach a predictable ending
the only thing horrifying in this book is the amount of miniscule details I wanted the bad guy to kill all of them as payback for making me sit through it all!!

Stark or Bachman?
You can’t help but wonder how much King was reflecting on his efforts as Richard Bachman when he wrote this. His insights into the creative process are woven through the story and you get a real sense for what it is to be a writer like King. You can’t fault King’s character creation and development in any of his books but he does a particularly good job here. I love seeing crossover characters from Castle Rock, too.

Listen!
So good! Old school King. Very much worth a listen if you are into the macabre!

Another great story by SK
Narrator was excellent . Loved the story and all the characters; the good the bad and the goddam ugly. Draws you in as all SK books do.
