Description on Paperbackswap is incorrect. Audio CD with 5 cd's and approx. 6 hours.

Very good listen! Told in the first person by "the writer". Not at all what I expected, lots of cussing and name calling by pre-teen boys, but I love it! It feels real. Of course this is based in the '60's so what was calling names then is lame now, but the writer explains all that. I would recommend. Not my favorite by Stephen King, but very good.

I think I would have enjoyed this book a bit more if I had once been a 12-year old boy. Stephen King's obsession with bodily fluids (which I can generally tolerate in most other Stephen King books despite the fact that it is ever-present) was particularly noticeable in this book. Again - if I had once been a 12-year old boy, those references (and maybe even Stephen King's obsession with bodily fluids) would probably go unnoticed. Not one of my favorites by King.
