During the summer between my junior and senior years of high school, we were required to read a couple books. I found this one and thought it would be interesting because it takes place in Nevada, my home state. I was instantly hooked by the story and finished the book in two days; I couldn't put it down. This is a great read. (  )hardyr4 | Jun 17, 2009 |   Reading the book felt like a thousand orgasms, but the movie made me feel like I was taking it in the ass!!!! The movie was terrible! I thought it would be cool because its cast includes the guy that plays in hell boy.........Dam was I wrong............... whiskerkid | Apr 29, 2009 | Really closely resembles the shining if you think about it. (  )doc_illusion | Jan 13, 2009 | I still find myself reeling from parts of this book and I read it several years ago. Everytime I go past a mine shaft this book comes to mind. I like how King explores a new setting and variety of characters. (  )beckylynn | Jul 4, 2008 | Probably my least favorite King book. Depressing, grim and confusing.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audio Review (ISBN 0451188462, Paperback)Kathy Bates, the award-winning actress who has starred in two film adaptations of King's work (Dolores Claiborne, Misery) showcases her storytelling talent in the audio version of Desperation. In nine chilling hours of narration, Bates brings to life the story of two doomed travelers headed down Highway 50, a.k.a. the loneliest highway in America, in the brutal Nevada desert. Her even, full-bodied voice has the remarkable ability to sound monotone, sinister, and inviting all at once--a marvelous, engaging match to King's prose. (Running time: nine hours, six cassettes)(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:16 -0400) The first test round has been closed. Visit the Open Shelves Classification group for details. |
