About this listen
A number-one national best seller
Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late-night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.
There's a definite mean streak running through this small New England city; underneath its ordinary surface awesome and terrifying forces are at work. The dying has been going on in Derry for a long, long time. Now Ralph is part of it...and lack of sleep is the least of his worries.
Returning to the same Maine town where It took place, a town that has haunted Stephen King for decades, Insomnia blends King's trademark bone-chilling realism with supernatural terror to create yet another masterpiece of suspense.

Great book!
I very much enjoyed this story and it’s connections to the dark tower. My only issue with it is the music that was played over the reading in some areas made the story hard to listen to.

Good story, decent narration, very distracting “music”
The only real issue I have with this audiobook is that the jammed in loud, distracting, sharp fiddle “music” in between every chapter and sub chapters which plays WHILE THE NARRATOR IS STILL READING. I understand it’s supposed to add suspense and intensity but mostly all it does is make it so you can’t hear what is being said during those parts.

Good book
It's good overall, but quite slow. It's nothing like It or Salem's lot. There are a few mentions of It characters, but not connection with Pennywise. Patrick Danville appears once.... Unessesary music, very annoying!!!

Enough with the noise!
The book is full of noisy Sagways that overlap the narrator. Half the time they are so loud you need to turn down the volume. This book took me nearly 3 months to get through because I dreaded hearing the loud and annoying noise throughout. Story was good tho

Hated the background music
I love this story but was not enthralled with this performance. The narrator’s voice was over shadowed by the back ground music which seemed scratchy and irritating- I found myself shouting at my app to stop! I would have to turn it down as it was that bad. Then I wasn’t able to hear the narrator. I was disappointed because of this and almost refused to finish listening. Who ever produced this had no idea what they were doing.

Music between chapters is horribke
I'm only on c3 but the music has to go. It plays too loud and overwhelns the dialogue. I wish there was a way to turn it off.

Not as good as I remember
Definitely not as good as I remember when I first read the book. Maybe a little too much fate and God and Ka crap in there for me now.

Lovely story.
This was a bit of the same with a bit of the different. In a good way.

Great book
Great book but the music/sound effects are terrible and drowned out the narrator. It’s irritating and adds nothing to the story.

Good story would’ve been improved with better voices
Good story, loved the connections to other King stories-the occasional music was very jarring and sometimes made it hard to hear the audio. The lack of flexibility in the narrator’s voice took you out of the story a bit as all character voices sounded the same.
