Publisher's Summary

A dark and sweeping adventure, Dreamcatcher is set in the haunted city of Derry - the site of Stephen King's It and Insomnia. In it, four young boys stand together and do a brave, good thing, an act that changes them in ways that they hardly understand.

A quarter-century later, as grown men who have gone their separate ways, these friends come together once a year to hunt in the woods of Maine. This particular year, a stranger stumbles into their campsite, and before long, the friends are plunged into the most remarkable adventure of their lives. They wind up in a life and death struggle, their only hope for survival locked in their shared past... and in the dreamcatcher.

I was on the edge of my seat!

This was a great story. I would put it down and then couldn't wait to get back to it. Some parts were pretty groosome and it's hard when you can't look away at the gross parts but if you can grit your teeth long enough to get through those parts, it's very interesting. If you like Stephen King, you'll like this book. The narrator did a great job of capturing all of the characters personalities. I would recommend for sure.

bof

le narrateur était excellent (en anglais), pas la meilleure histoire de King, je l'ai trouvée difficile à suivre, bcp de back and forth entre les temps et je devrais continuellement revenir en arrière parce que l'histoire perdait mon attention. prenez "the institute" à la place.

narrator and story were great

the story wasnt as "action" packed as I thought it was going to be. coming to this book from "it" was great, lots of locations in derry from "it" made it easy to fall back into the setting of this book. there was even a few references to the book "it" and that brought me great joy

Scooby Dooby Doo! I am the Eggman. It was an interesting fun ride but not the best I’ve taken with Mr King.

I couldn’t finish it.

Honestly I gave it 7 hours of listening time, lost interest. This is the first King book I have started that I won’t finish.

loved this story

I am reviewing the story a couple of months after having a listen to the novel and I am still thinking about it. The magic of the Duditz is infectious. I loved listening to a book that I have no idea what the story is about and just getting it because of the author. This book surprised and thrilled me with the quality of characters and the adventure I was taken along for.
