From Publishers Weekly

Forget the lean, mean King of Misery, Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne. This is the other King-the Grand Vizier of Verbosity who gave us It, The Tommyknockers and Needful Things. There's much of everything in these 800 pages, including the worthy. Notable is a rare septuagenarian hero, recently widowed Ralph Roberts, whose broodings on old age immerse readers into the aging psyche almost as clearly as other King heroes have revealed the minds of children. Then there's the slam-bang final 300 pages, in themselves a novel's worth of excitement as Ralph battles demonic entities to prevent a holocaust in his small town of Derry, Maine (site of It). The problem is that the finale is preceded by more than a novel's worth of casual, even tedious buildup: Ralph's growing insomnia; his new ability to see auras around all living things; his dismay as Derry's citizens divide violently over the impending visit of a radical pro-lifer; his slow realization that celestial forces have marked Derry as a battleground between good and evil. King remains popular fiction's most reliable mirror of cultural trends, in particular our continuing love affair with horror (Barker and Koontz are palpable influences here). If this novel were liposuctioned, it would rank among King's best; as is, it's another roly-poly volume from a skilled writer who presumes his readers' appetite for words is more gourmand than gourmet. 1,500,000 first printing; $1 million ad/promo; paperback rights to Signet; simultaneous audio release from Penguin Highbridge; BOMC selection.

5.0étoiles sur 5 LET THE GOOSE BUMPS RISE, AND ENJOY EVERY LINE, Sep 26 2008
Par Gail Cooke (TX, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Insomnia (Audio CD)
A method actor who received much of his training at the famed Actor's Studio, Eli Wallach has been delivering stellar performances on both stage and screen for the past 50 years. He gives us one more outstanding performance as he narrates Stephen King's lauded Insomnia.

While Wallach's name might not be familiar to some, his face certainly is as he has appeared in numerous major films, such as The Magnificent Seven, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and The Misfits. He has received four Emmy nominations, and received a Tony for his role in The Rose Tattoo. Wallach also penned his autobiography The Good, The Bad, and Me: In My Anecdotage, which I surely recommend. His narration of Insomnia leaves listeners both chilled and thrilled by his rendering of this iconic tale.

Many of us probably have a sleepless night or two, but few are as troubled by insomnia as Ralph Roberts., a widower who lives in Derry, Maine. Ralph's problem is not a mere case of tossing, turning, then finally dropping off. No, Ralph's insomnia involves seeing things, hazes or auras if you will as well as colors around his friends. He becomes aware not only of another plane of existence but that his hometown is in grave danger from an evil force. To compound matters Ralph's lady friend, Lois Chasse, suffers from the same malady, and it seems they've been chosen to put things right - if possible.

Listen, let the goose bumps rise, and enjoy every line.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Not so fast, Juil 5 2008

This review is from: Insomnia (Paperback)
I read Stephen King's Desperation and just loved it! Even though this isn't usually the genre I enjoy. So, I thought I would try Inc=somniac...I tried to read it 3 times over 3 years and COULD NOT get past the 1st chapter...I can't say whether or not it picks up but the beginning is SLOW!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Couldnt Put It Down, Mars 2 2005
Par Michael Beveridge (Toronto, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Insomnia (Hardcover)
I loved everything about this book. When the main character starts tripping out when hes first getting insomnia was soo funny, I was right there with him seeing a bunch of weird things. The little bald doctors, the whole bit. The story was interesting, funny, a little spooky at times, overall just darn right great. Very well written and one of my new favorite Stephen King books.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Perfect cure for insomnia
If you have insomnia, read this book. You'll be cured quickly by this massive bore. King's brain must have been fried when he wrote this clumsy book.
