About this listen

The #1 New York Times bestseller and “frightening” (The New York Times) thriller from master storyteller Stephen King about a clairvoyant man who must weigh his options when he sees the terrible future awaiting mankind.

When Johnny Smith was six years old, head trauma caused by a bad ice-skating accident left him with a nasty bruise on his forehead and, from time to time, those hunches…infrequent but accurate snippets of things to come. But it isn’t until Johnny’s a grown man—now having survived a horrifying auto injury that plunged him into a coma lasting four-and-a-half years—that his special abilities really push to the fore. Johnny Smith has come back from the void with an extraordinary gift that becomes his life’s curse…presenting visions of what was and what will be for both the innocent and guilty alike. But when he encounters a ruthlessly ambitious and amoral man who promises a terrifying fate for all humanity, Johnny must find a way to prevent a harrowing predestination from becoming reality…

Most Relevant

The Dead Zone is an original and well created story. Protagonist John Smith was very likable and relatable. I felt my heart going out to him many times throughout the book and his hardships. I wish there was more to Bannerman/Dodd story and I feel like the supernatural explanation of "The Dead Zone" was left unexplained but hey, that's Stephen King for you.

James Franco did a fantastic job with this novel. His voice acting was perfect for ever role he dove into and I really hope he does more books in the future; specifically more Stephen King books.

Overall I thought narrator James Franco and protagonist John Smith made this a great read.
