(  ) Anagarika | Oct 30, 2009 |  An interesting departure for King in terms of style and subject matter, but still not one of his stronger novels. Loosely connected to the weaker novel, Gerald's Game. (  ) sturlington | Sep 17, 2009 | audiobook, murder, regret, Maine, dust bunnies ( ) arsolot | Mar 25, 2009 | The first King novel I read, this is the best. Narrated by the powerful voice of Dolores as she confesses to the murder of her brutal husband, this is hard to put down. ( ) Virtual_Jo | Dec 17, 2008 | As with many of King's works, I find his books that deal with real people to be far scarier and more entertaining than the books that involve supernatural (and many times silly) monsters and beings. Gerald's Game, Dolores Claiborne, The Shining, Misery are terrifying without being ridiculous. ( ) santhony | Oct 1, 2008 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Amazon.com Audio Review (ISBN 0670844527, Hardcover)Taking a break from Broadway to try her voice at audiobook narration, Frances Sternhagen reads Stephen King's work with dazzling gusto. Sternhagen is Dolores Claiborne, a curmudgeon of a housekeeper accused of murdering her less-than-genial boss. So adept is the actress at playing the crusty, outspoken East Coaster that one may feel as if they're privy to a closed deposition. However, listeners be warned: Dolores Claiborne is not for delicate ears. Colorful adjectives and earthy idioms abound--let's just say Mrs. Claiborne doesn't mince words and uses metaphors that would make most truckers blush. (Running time: nine hours, six cassettes)(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:05 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
