Great Story, Horrible "3-D"
I read the story awhile ago and decided to get some CD's to listen to on my drive to work. This is not an actual reading of the book, but more of a radio drama. I have no problem with that, but the audio mixing is horrible. The music is sometimes too loud and I could no understand the dialog. The little boy does a terrible reading and has a very minor speech problem that makes him difficult to listen to. I found it to be a very annoying CD to listen to.
Superb short novella by King
Following a savage storm, a small group of people are trapped in a supermarket and find themselves in a world where bugs become huge predators meant on devouring us all. They realize that the world has changed and must band together in order to survive this new-born nightmare. Absolutely awesome creation by King.
for those complaining about the audio quality...
it is a binaural recording. basically it is a recording technique that was meant specifically to be listened to with headphones. when played through a home or car system the stereo image completely collapses and sounds terrible. listen to it through a set of phones and I think you'll have a dramatically different opinion of the sound quality.
