About this listen
On a brisk autumn day, a 13-year-old boy stands on the shores of the gray Atlantic, near a silent amusement park and a fading ocean resort called the Alhambra. The past has driven Jack Sawyer here: His father is gone, his mother is dying, and the world no longer makes sense. But for Jack everything is about to change. For he has been chosen to make a journey back across America - and into another realm.
One of the most influential and heralded works of fantasy ever written, The Talisman is an extraordinary novel of loyalty, awakening, terror, and mystery. Jack Sawyer, on a desperate quest to save his mother's life, must search for a prize across an epic landscape of innocents and monsters, of incredible dangers and even more incredible truths. The prize is essential, but the journey means even more. Let the quest begin....

Enjoyable Adventure
Not King's best work in my opinion, however still a very fun story All King's fan should eventually read, just don't start with this one.

Best credit I ever spent
This book was amazing! I laughed, I cried, I was spooked. This is definitely the best Stephen King book I've ever read/listened to and this is coming from an avid King fan. Now to listen to some more of Peter Straub's work! Frank Muller does a fantastic job bringing each character to life and I found myself wishing the story would never end. I will recommend this to all my friends and family. Many thanks to all involved!

Love Frank Muller but
Good story as always from Mr King. Frank Muller is a great narrator but for this story a younger sounding voice would have been a much better choice.

Should be a pretty cool TV series!
The story itself should make for a good TV series. Lots of fun fiction in here. As per King’s usual, it’s a very LONG drawn out book. Excessive at times, but who am I to criticize Stephen King?!
The performance was very hard for me to get into at first. I heard amazing things, so I tried. I REALLY tried! The first hour took me half a dozen attempts to get past. BUT!! I’m glad I did. The performance actually gets pretty impressive as more and more characters are brought in. He does a great job of bringing out the personalities of each one.

Stephen King at his best!
A wonderful story, beautifully written and superbly narrated. I have already purchased the sequel “Black House”.

It kept you listening but not his greatest work.
The story had enough action to keep you going. It was a more simple story more predictable. It definitely gets you prepared for the Dark Tower.
