Story4.5 out of 5 stars 63,522
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Christopher Snow is the best-known resident of 12,000-strong Moonlight Bay, California. This is because 28-year-old Chris has xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a light-sensitivity so severe that he cannot leave his house in daylight, cannot enter a normally-lit room, cannot sit at a computer.

Story4 out of 5 stars 2,073
After working one of the worst mass killings in U.S. history, Scarpetta returns home to Cambridge, Massachusetts. Exhausted and ill, she's recovering at home when she receives an unsettling call. The body of a young woman has been discovered on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's rugby field. The victim, a graduate student named Gail Shipman, is oddly draped in ivory linen and posed in a way that is too deliberate to be the killer's first strike.

Part Great, Part Tired

I had a hard time with this one
Reviewed: 07-28-14
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I have read all of the Scarpetta books, which makes me want to see the series to the end, but I think the end better come soon. I am beginning to dislike all of the man characters and this makes me sad. I used to love the chemisty with Scarpetta and Marino, admire Lucy and romanticize Benton. I do not any longer. Scarpetta, is a self important know it all, Lucy is a bitch who is nasty Marino lost his balls and Benton sounds like an old man.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Ending had zero excitement.
What didn’t you like about Kate Reading’s performance?
I did not. Her voice began to irritate me. She read oddly, ending sentences with questions and over annunciating words. I found I could not contentrate on her voice for very long. I struggled to finish this book because of it.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
Not if it had the same pace as this book.
