Narration Conducive To Books Roadwork

Barton Dawes’ unremarkable but comfortable existence suddenly takes a turn for the worst. Highway construction puts him out of work and simultaneously forces him out of his home. Dawes isn’t the sort of man who will take an insult of this magnitude lying down. His single-minded determination to fight the inevitable course of progress drives his wife and friends away while he tries to face down the uncaring bureaucracy that has destroyed his once comfortable life.

Judgment Appertaining To Books Roadwork

Audiobook Narrated by G Valmont Thomas Dreadful narration.This is the first audiobook narrated by Thomas that Ive listened to and it will probably be my last. His reading voice is beautiful and if hed stuck to that I would have thoroughly enjoyed it. But he didnt.His character voices were just awful. It was like watching a puppet show. At least thats the image that kept popping into my head. I couldnt finish listening to it.***Ebook:Bleak and depressing as the Bachman books tend to be. I liked

"It came to him that one of the surest signs of insanity was a man all alone, laughing in the middle of silence, on an empty street filled with empty houses."I think that sentence pretty much sums up this book very well..it's about a man who never healed properly from the death of his young son and he is slowly falling apart. Then when other outside stresses are put on him, like the city wanting to tear down his house for the extension of a highway, he slowly sinks into madness.. reading this

Much better than I remember, but still not great by any stretch of the imagination. Fact remains, though, I cried more than once. Review and Thursday Theorist video coming next week.

This is a book about loss. Its as simple as that. Bert Dawes lost his son Charlie to a brain tumor. He loved his son very much, so much that his wife, Mary, has to admit that theirs was a special connection. Hell, Burt still talks to the kid and somehow imagines Charlie talks back to him. Now the city is handing Bert another loss. They want Bert to leave a home jam-packed with memories and mementos, the site of so many happy hours with his wife and son, and a neighborhood equally filled with a

3.5 stars

This one is more like 3.5 stars. A perfect example of psychological horror. There are no monsters in this book except the ones in Bart Dawes own brain. The best part of the book was the way that Mr. King was able to make the highway extension feel like a character. This story was written in 1981, I'm not sure if it would even have been published in a post 9-11 American society, at least not by a major publisher.
