Frank Muller and Stephen King are a great pairing. The Talisman a great tale of a boy undertaking a great adventure in order to save the life of his mother.

Thoroughly recommend this one, especially if you like King's style of work.

One of his best. A mini Dark Tower

I couldn't manage more than 30 minutes of the narrator's voice, the repetitive slur at the end of each sentence was not something I could listen to for 28 hours.

narration awful
