INSOMNIA

Derry, Maine, is the setting for some very weird goings-on, and two old-timers are the only ones to see them. King's thriller is ably read by Eli Wallach. On the whole, his characterizations are very good, and the hero, Ralph Roberts, is perfect. However, the strange musical interludes come up so suddenly in the narrative that they sound like the police in pursuit; the car might not be the best place to listen to this book. Nonetheless, given the length of the story and the excellent narration, Insomnia is very good in audio. S.F.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 95]
