A #1 national bestseller—“A yarn so packed with suspense, romance, literary reference, fascinating miscellaneous knowledge, and heart that only Stephen King could have written it. Marvelous—that is, full of marvels” (Booklist).

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.

The narrator did a good job, but I could not focus because of the background music. What the actual heck?! I get that it was supposed to add an effect but it was so distracting and so awful, I could barely get through those parts. The music went on for too long, it was terrible and made it very difficult to want to continue listening.

What’s with the music?!!!

I really enjoyed the story but the background music and noises are distracting. I'm reading all the books related to the dark tower series and this is one of them.

Great story, badly produced

Narrator sounds like Winnie the Pooh. Terrible overly-loud musical interludes. Decent story by Stephen King.

The story on its own was very good but I could barely hear it most of the time because the voice was drowned out by the god awful music that was playing. The music was completely unnecessary, way too loud, and did absolutely nothing to help the story. Sometimes it wasn’t even music, just screeching!! In my opinion this book would’ve been so much much better without the music.

Good story but...

The music took away from the story, it even hurt my ears most of the time. Would be better with no music.

Interlude music was bad, very, very, bad.
