Good characters but wished the story was longer.

As stated above I enjoyed the character interactions between the kids, but every other character felt kind of bland. Also the idea of a sluggish monster invading a small town but aside from its lethality & the dramatic discovery of its weakness I wished the creature could've been expanded upon. Also I wished the author didnt resort to so much crude language. Overall though it was an enjoyable listen, especially during Halloween.

Good storyline

If you liked Stand By Me, this is a story for you! I can’t wait to share this with my granddaughter. She will love it!

Just ok.

wasn't crazy about the performance or the story as a whole. good at times with relatable characters, but unnecessarily dragged as well.

my favorite part of the book was the dialogue between friends. definitely took me back to my childhood and captured the true essence of boys growing up in the '80s.

part of the reason I chose to buy this book was the claim by many that it was pretty dark and scary. that completely missed the mark for me. I didn't find the story to be in the slightest bit frightening, and at times it was almost laughable while simultaneously irritating.

overall I would say that the book is worth a listen, but I can't say much more for it than that. you will be entertained at times and annoyed at others.

Get Lost In It

I Loved This Book! I could not turn it off! Everything I did, I took this book with me. This writer has never failed me, and always leaves me yearning for more of his writings!
