By A Customer

This review is from: One Past Midnight (Audio Cassette)

The Langoliers is my favorite novella so far(I've only read 4 novellas). The plot is great, and the characters were vivid to me. I read this and could not put it down. A shame they disgraced it with the film, but awesome book. I thought this tale was very creative because I could never think of a story like that. This was a great story because it had a lot of action, but there was a little love story in the mix of things. I always have liked stories that have a romance story. This kept me glued to the end, but the ending was kind of rushed. They should have had an epilogue or something. This is King at his best, and I think FOUR PAST MIDNIGHT is his best collection.

If you are a fan of the Twilight Zone this is great stuff and I highly recommend it! Shame on the one review where the person slams the characters. Guess what these characters have faults and the book draws them out! AND yes if you needed to save yourself you too might use a toaster for defense.
I didn't read the book BUT as you listen to the Audio Book tape
you can truly visualize the characters, the scenery and what is taking place. Actually if you pictured yourself in this type of scenario the fear would be much grander than what is displayed in the tale. Willem Dafoe does a great job as a Reader.

This review is from: One Past Midnight (Audio Cassette)

I read "The Langoliers" several years ago, and while I didn't think it was one of King's stronger novels at the time, the images have stayed with me. Flying in fog invariably brings back disturbing images of the desperate passengers who had shifted dimensions. King's descriptions of the sense of nothingness packed such a wallop that long after I'd forgotten the characters themselves, the eerie atmosphere of "The Langoliers" has embedded itself in my imagination.
