I think I would have enjoyed this book a bit more if I had once been a 12-year old boy. Stephen King's obsession with bodily fluids (which I can generally tolerate in most other Stephen King books despite the fact that it is ever-present) was particularly noticeable in this book. Again - if I had once been a 12-year old boy, those references (and maybe even Stephen King's obsession with bodily fluids) would probably go unnoticed. Not one of my favorites by King.
Description on Paperbackswap is incorrect. Audio CD with 5 cd's and approx. 6 hours.
Very good listen! Told in the first person by "the writer". Not at all what I expected, lots of cussing and name calling by pre-teen boys, but I love it! It feels real. Of course this is based in the '60's so what was calling names then is lame now, but the writer explains all that. I would recommend. Not my favorite by Stephen King, but very good.
