Great Narrator - Familiar Structure

The prequel is a mix of Hunger Games and Mockingjay. Well written. Well paced. Fleshed out characters.
This narrator does an incredible job.

One of Kings Recent Best

The pacing, story, and elements of this novel are fantastic. The audio version is wonderful, and the reader does an amazing job. It’s classic Stephen King through a modern lens.

It’s just Ru babbling. This shouldn’t even qualify as a book. Don’t waste a credit on this.

Immensely dark. Don’t believe the negativity.
Reviewed: 08-21-23
This was a densely dark book. Nothing is off the table for this writer, and he puts his characters through the most trauma I’ve encountered in a book in years. However, the reviews criticizing his writing style are pretty pompous. The story moves fast and is incredibly interesting. Well developed characters and well structured chapters made me fly through this.
Definitely recommend.

Story
Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

Do not download this audio book!
Yes, there’s lots of fun Easter eggs and references; however, the story is all over the place. I could not follow the protagonists movements because the writing was sloppy and rushed. The narrator does a poor job differentiating her voice as a narrator or a character. This causes you to have no clue who’s talking.

Story
An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.

A New Classic for King
Reviewed: 04-20-23
The book moves at a wonderful pace and is perfectly narrated in audible. It takes some unexpected turns, and keeps you entertained from beginning to end.
The idea of king creating weak endings is not true here.
Wonderfully wrapped up. Fulfilling conclusion.

Story
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

The story has interesting elements but for as long as it goes on for there just isn’t a lot of substance here.
I found listening to it to be more of a chore than enjoyment.
