À propos de cet audio

When a game of seduction between a husband and wife ends in death, the nightmare has only just begun in this sinister twist on a bedtime story - a number-one national best seller and "one of Stephen King's best" (USA Today).

Gerald and Jessie Burlingame have gone to their summer home on a warm weekday in October for a romantic getaway. After being handcuffed to her bedposts, Jessie tires of her husband's games, but when Gerald refuses to stop, the evening ends with deadly consequences. Still handcuffed, Jessie is trapped and alone.

Over the next 28 hours, in the lakeside house that has become a prison, Jessie will come face to face with all the things she has ever feared. Her only company is a hungry stray dog and the various voices that fill her mind. As night comes, she is unsure whether it is her imagination or if she has another companion: someone watching her from the corner of her dark bedroom.

A master of his craft, Stephen King's novels haunt in many different ways. Gerald's Game "kept us up half the night, we couldn't put it down" (Newsweek).

irritatingly mundane the poor ephemeral helpless female who overcomes all odds . Boring and shockingly predictable for a King book. was tired of reading it halfway through but sallied forward in Hope's it would get better. Unfortunately not so as the barely disguised misogyny was rampant within the pages.
a story about a poor helpless female who couldn't possibly have the forethought to tell her husband to get bent and thus put herself in to the entire conundrum of this tale.
Unfortunate as I'm generally a big fan of Kings. this one is a swing and a miss for me.

I did not like the musical bits in between chapters or just for added suspense. This was the first audio book I have listened to with musical notes throughout it. Could have done without that. Otherwise it was worth listening to. The end surprised me.

A surprising twist at the end.

The performance was great but that loud music is just awful. Very well read though

Seriously, don't listen to this with headphones

I don’t know why, but this King book never really appealed to me to read. However, after reading some reviews, I thought I’d give it a listen. I enjoyed it. I thought Lindsay Crouse did a good job crawling into Jessie Burlingame. The true horror here is Jessie’s family. This is not to say that there are not true moments of horror - there are. Reading this with my dog at my feet made it a little awkward. I will be listening to Dolores Claiborne as I understand both books share the same universe. My only negative comment is the music/ sound effects added. Why??

Surprisingly suspenseful.

I found this book to be boring, although it did have its ups -which made me keep going. Overall a good story line, but left me with questions. Not scary or creepy in my opinion, like IT or the shining. If your a Stephen King fan, then read it...if not, you're not missing much.

the book is good. But good God almighty! what the hell is with the high pitched shrill noises added between parts of the book?! I mean they are PAINFUL if you listen on head phones. I actually recommend not buying just because of them. I feared them. find another version.

who's idea was it to add the painful sound effects
