À propos de cet audio
It’s the summer of 1960 and in the small town of Elm Haven, Illinois, five twelve-year-old boys are forging the powerful bonds that a lifetime of change will not break. From sunset bike rides to shaded hiding places in the woods, the boys’ days are marked by all of the secrets and silences of an idyllic childhood. But amid the sun-drenched cornfields, their loyalty will be pitilessly tested. When a long-silent bell peals in the middle of the night, the townsfolk know it marks the end of their carefree days. From the depths of the Old Central School, a hulking fortress tinged with the mahogany scent of coffins, an invisible evil is rising. Strange and horrifying events begin to overtake everyday life, spreading terror through the once-peaceful town. Determined to exorcize this ancient plague, Mike, Duane, Dale, Harlen, and Kevin must wage a war of blood against an arcane abomination who owns the night....

Until he rises to meet his fate and finds himself face to face with an evil far older, and far greater, than the Nazis themselves. Compelled by the encounter to survive at all costs, so begins a journey that for Saul will span decades and cross continents, plunging into the darkest corners of 20th century history to reveal a secret society of beings who may often exist behind the world's most horrible and violent events.

Histoire
Martin Lorensen is a twenty-three-year-old counselor for disturbed teenagers. He’s bright, compassionate, attractive, and outgoing. He’s also—and this is the most interesting thing—not dead. Martin has improbably survived not one but two deadly disasters that claimed dozens of lives. The kid is riding one hell of a lucky streak. Two federal agents think there is something darker at play. Now that they’ve arranged to interview Martin, they want answers. Martin is ready to share everything he knows. One thing is for certain: when it comes to escaping death, luck doesn’t figure into it at all.

For four aging men in the terror-stricken town of Milburn, New York, an act inadvertently carried out in their youth has come back to haunt them. Now they are about to learn what happens to those who believe they can bury the past - and get away with murder. Peter Straub's classic best seller is a work of "superb horror" ( Washington Post Book World) that, like any good ghost story, stands the test of time - and conjures our darkest fears and nightmares.

Give it a chance, it's a slow start and drags a bit with the narrative at times. But the story is worth it.

This book is amazing! It kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. There was always something happening.
The narrator was not my favourite, but he was not awful. It didn’t ruin the book for me.

Loved this book!
I read Summer of Night years ago and loved it then. Upon recently listening to it, I love it more. It's a poignant yet thrilling coming-of-age story that captures the angst of pre-teen boys - and one odd girl - as they deal with family dynamics and as they are plunged into supernatural horrors that only such kids can overcome. The characters are sympathetic - young and old - and the story line is gripping from the first chapter. Dan Simmons is a fabulous writer and I am now a fan of Dan John Miller as a narrator.

good
Second listen, just as compelling as the first.
Look, I understand why folks would compare this unfavorably to IT, considering it a pale imitation, or at least like, written to cash in on ITs success, but...
I liked this a lot more. Yeah, it gets a little ridiculous, naturally, but darn it, it was intense. And it features my favourite secondary character of all time, the inimitable Cordie Cooke. I rarely identify with characters, but in this case, how could I not? A fat, slovenly, friendless weirdo, but criminally underestimated. Story of my childhood, haha.
And there were scenes that were genuinely upsetting (the "shirts versus skins" baseball game, for one, made me feel sick. That poor girl. It was an uncomfortably realistic portrayal of everyday sexual harassment. The way the author expressed her feelings of betrayal, sadness and disillusionment was just heartbreaking. Also, the dog. What more can I say? And that other completely shattering death. Like, the author went there, he really did. What a massive punch in the gut! Ugh, even the second time reading it, I felt so sad.)
The characters were well-developed, and even though there are blatantly obvious parallels between these kids and the kids in IT (a would-be writer, a kid with intense mommy issues... actually, i feel like that's a trope in most of these kids-in-peril-fighting-monsters stories. One always has to have serious mommy issues) they were all fully their own people, and you find yourself invested in them and their fates.
The world-building was pretty good, and the story was hard to put down, despite the length.

If you liked King's novel It, you'll love this.
This story was a little slow to get started, but really picks up. I listen to audiobooks while working my job on the road, this book had me wishing i worked longer hours.

Very exciting listen. I like all the characters and they were well developed. I must admit the story reminded me of Stranger Things which I’m a fan of, so it was easy to give 5 stars.

Brilliant!
This is one of those stories that you just don't want to end. Yes, even at 22 hours long! I was a little concerned at first because I felt that it took a while to get into the horror aspect of the story, which is what I was really looking forward to. There was a slow build to the scary stuff, with little things happening one by one, and it turned out that the writing was so good that I didn't really even notice, even when the story (near the beginning) was mainly about the friendship between the children.
I read in some of the other reviews that people were reminded of Stephen King's "It" when they listened to this story. I agree, there are some similarities. And only in a good way. For me, Dan Simmons is one of those writers who can spin a truly compelling story without using too much frilly language or overusing metaphors, similes and other linguistic tools that many times can just bog down a story and become irritating. He has an excellent vocabulary but when it comes down to it he just tells the story & keeps you enthralled the whole way through.
I have 1 hour left of the sequel to this book, A Winter Haunting, then I plan on tackling Carrion Comfort!

I’d listen to it again
There are similarities to IT especially at the beginning it get almost identical. It does go off in a different direction though and I actually really liked it.
There were some portions I thought would be elaborated on or just didn’t fit in with the story at all which would’ve been better left out.
Don’t bother if you’re expecting a different version of IT as you will be disappointed. But the story in itself is worth a listen.
