One of the best

Not sure how old this published book is but it should have been written for audio. An incredible challenge to write an entire book based on one woman's statement from start to finish. The narration needed to be good and it was perfect. Add to that a the typical king world and characters and it was faultless. I absolutely loved this book, so theyar brilliant

Although I read this book many years ago I thoroughly enjoyed it, the narrative was excellent and kept me intrested all the way through, The story of course is second to none, another one of Steven Kings master pieces ,it brought so many different feelings to the light ,if I wasent sad and maybe shedding a tear then I was laughing or maybe so angry I felt I could actually kill Joe myself , I recommend this book to anybody and hope you enjoy it has much has I did 😀

One of his best

If you think King only does horror or the supernatural try this book. What a great story well read by the narrator.

the narration

Having always been familiar with Stephen King I had only ever read Pet Cemetery, as a teenager. I've seen all the films based on his books, but books are always better, aren't they?! (maybe with the exemption of Shawshank, that film is hard to beat). So, recently I've started working my way through his books. This one is amazing, so well narrated, I was hooked from the start. SK's talent for diverse characters and story lines is phenomenal. This one is one of my favourites

Stephen King doesn't get much better!

I read this book many years ago and loved it. So I thought I'd listen to the audio version and see what I thought. I wasn't disappointed. A good story is a good story, whatever form it's in. This was read wonderfully. Clear and with interesting character voices, just as if you were relating a story to someone else. Which is basically what Dolores is doing in this book. It's brilliant how King tells the story this way and is captivating. I would thoroughly recommend this audio book.

Dolores Claiborne

Really enjoyed this story I had not read the book so didn’t know what to expect but I thought the narration was superb and really fitted the character well and I was delighted at the ending as often with a SK book we don’t get a ‘happy ending’

Wonderful

One of the most enjoyable books I've had on Audible. Fantastic performance by this narrator (I won't mention the Scottish accent.. We'll just pretend that didn't happen) genuinely felt for Delores.
Didn't really know the story, but left me with a similar warm buzz to that of Stand By Me (the movie) or The Green Mile.
Simple but brilliant story telling, and one of my top 3 performances on Audible.
Definitely recommend.

Another top-class audiobook

I loved this book the first time I read it. Maybe it's been done before, but the whole book being written as a single dialog from a single person really won me over.

As this is written as a single dialog, audiobook is the perfect way to experience this story, and I enjoyed it listening to it even more than reading it. Frances Sternhagen was magnificent and really brought the character to life. She made it seem like you were actually sat in a room with a woman telling you a story, not just reading a book to you.

As always, Stephen King's story-telling is next to none, and being able to portray such a vivid and entrancing story just through a single person's dialog without getting tedious just shows why this man is considered by many one of the greatest authors of our time.

If you haven't listened to a Stephen King audiobook, I cannot recommend this one enough, so stop reading this, and get listening to Delores Claiborne.
