Editorial Reviews

When two giants team-up, power follows. King needs no introduction, and Library Journal calls Muller the first superstar of audio. In this program Muller tells King’s earthy story of perseverance in Shawshank Prison in raw, gutteral tones. Harsh though the story is, the delivery carries the intimacy of a friend talking to the listener from the passenger seat. While the reading was so riveting I couldn’t turn it off, there were times when it was so brutal I had to stop the tape. Muller’s flawless reading enriches King’s powerful story, providing a superlative audio program. D.W.K. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine
