Publisher's Summary

Suspenseful, frightening, and sometimes howlingly funny, a story of invasion and battle, survival and heroism. It is a story of how men remember ... and how they love.

In Derry, Maine, four young boys once stood together and did a brave thing. Something that changed them in ways they hardly understand.

A quarter of a century later, the boys are men who have gone their separate ways. Though they still get together once a year, to go hunting in the north woods of Maine. But this time is different. This time a man comes stumbling into their camp, lost, disoriented and muttering about lights in the sky.

Before long, these old friends will be plunged into the most remarkable events of their lives as they struggle with a terrible creature from another world. Their only chance of survival is locked in their shared past - and in the Dreamcatcher.

Better than expected

I'm a King fan but tend to be a little disappointed in the ending of some of his stories. This one though, didn't disappoint. Just under 23 hours where the fabulous skills of the narrator had me knowing exactly who was speaking as his ability to differentiate voices between characters was one of the highlights.
Can highly recommend and especially will be looking for others read by DeMunn!

Left Me Mostly Satisfied…But…

This was a fairly good King novel. I had a few chuckles through it, and overall the story was well done as was the narration. Yet there was something missing, though I can’t specifically put my finger on it. At the end, however, it was worth the listen.

Really enjoyed this one.

I read this book many years ago. I felt this was a better way to absorb the many characters and adventures criss crossing through this alien adventure with the gore pretty much at a 10. Good narration. Can't really fault this one

Not the best

Entertaining but gets lost in its self at times. Very different to Hollywood’s interpretation.
Long story probably better if condensed

couldn't force myself to finish it.

12 hrs to go and I was half way through... even then I couldn't will myself to suck it up and just finish it. the most BORING king book of all time... it was jumbled and the characters just rambled on and on about nothing... its obvious he was on the pain killers when writing this unfortunately! that's a no from me.

Too much information

I loved the movie, so thought the book would be too. But the book was long and drawn out and the Kurts/Curtis character was super annoying and unnecessary. 15hours in I found myself hoping the book would finish already, because every object and subject had a "tale" to it. Constantly digressing. Not what I expected. Just stick to the movie, you're not missing anything.

Need a strong stomach

I did enjoy the book - altho some parts seemed to waffle on a bit. Some good characters and interesting story-line. Even tho I read heaps of horror books - this made me feel a bit queasy and times.

Meh

It wasn’t the worst book. The voice reading it was kinda dull but not too bad. The story was very weird but it was still a nice enough experience

Rewards you for your patience

So glad I did not throw in the towel too soon. Do not le the beginning awkward flow of this story disappoint you and diffidently definitely don't let it dis-wade you. It picks up It flows. Full of action and POV perspective character development and interaction. There are some sci-fi concepts that work really well as a story writing element. It is just really good reading. Excellent.
