Latest Audio CD Version, Jan 8 2009
By Michael J. Cahill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: One Past Midnight: The Langoliers (Audio CD)
Willem Dafoe's reading is not very good,half the characters he portrays as whine-y and annoying.The quality of this conversion is slightly above poor, it's better than the Itunes version or mp3 tape versions but it too low for highway driving. Hopefully the other Stephen King re-releases by HighBridge audio will have better sounding audio. This was not quite the upgrade it should have been.

One of the best King Stories, July 24 2011
By N. Kunka - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: One Past Midnight: The Langoliers (Audio CD)
This is one of my favorite King stories because it's really imaginative. What if you fell asleep on a plane and woke up to find it empty? Panic. That's what.King as always does a great job managing supernatural and natural threats. It's always bad enough that King drops his characters into a seemingly hopeless situation, but there's always one guy with a screw just a hair loose that comes uncorked by the experience and creates a whole new set of problems for the beleaguered survivors.
This story isn't deep or profound, in fact there's little to be said other than that it's a wonderful bit of escapist fantasy.

A bit boring..., Nov 15 2009
By S. Cheng - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: One Past Midnight: The Langoliers (Audio CD)
I think it is one of the worse stories by Stephen Kings. The setting is interesting but it just gets worse and worse as the story goes. Many side stories (such as Brian's wife) in this novella are redundant and have done nothing but weakened the main storyline. The novelist, Bob, is absolutely annoying. Especially when he tries to explain the obvious to everyone... I think this shows a general weakness of Stephen King's hard SF stories. His explanation is usually not very interesting nor believable. The quality of narrating is average as one review pointed out. It is hard to distinguish voices of different male characters. And Nick Hopewell's voice is nothing but British accent. I think the narrator did at least try at the beginning, it seems he even gave up trying to imitate an accent near the end.
Listmania!
