Available from: About this book:
  • The son of a struggling single mother, Jamie Conklin just wants an ordinary childhood. But Jamie is no ordinary child. Born with an unnatural ability his mom urges him to keep secret, Jamie can see what no one else can see and learn what no one else can learn. But the cost of using this ability is higher than Jamie can imagine – as he discovers when an NYPD detective draws him into the pursuit of a killer who has threatened to strike from beyond the grave.
  • LATER is Stephen King at his finest, a terrifying and touching story of innocence lost and the trials that test our sense of right and wrong. With echoes of King's classic novel It, LATER is a powerful, haunting, unforgettable exploration of what it takes to stand up to evil in all the faces it wears.

As a long time Stephen King fan I thought this was one of his best books in years. The audiobook version read by Seth Numrich is a great production.
Just downloaded the audiobook from my local library... thanks for the heads up!

Quote from BruceInCola :
In case anyone cares Big Grin, of the King books I remember reading, order from best to worst:

The Dark Tower (HIGHLY recommend the Marvel comics after reading the book as well). Skip the show and the movie…both are terrible. Book is so epic it's almost indescribable.

11/22/63 (very close second). Also a show to avoid. Horrible. Book is truly amazing storytelling and an addictive page-turner.

The Stand (as above, avoid the show, book is amazing).

It (so far, about 75% through this). The audiobook of this is read by one of the best…narrators I've ever heard, and I've gone through some audiobooks. His talent is off the chart. It's a VERY dramatic reading but somehow he doesn't go overboard like so many others I've listened to. If the guy didn't win an award for it, he should have.

Then way way wayyyyy below all these is the almost terrible 'Fairy Tale'.
Have to disagree about the stand, excellent book, first TV mini series was good, second one was terrible.

I don't think we're disagreeing, are we? Big Grin

Book great, show awful.

Really? I just finished it yesterday and while I enjoyed it a lot. The ending was terrible, crowbarred in, and uneccessary.

Quote from blind_stone :
The last 25 % of It is rough, you are in for a ride kid. oof would love to hear back on that. The Fairy Tale was more trope and redone nonsense but it wan't bad. I don't really like any of kings books that involve children with the main line story.
Welp, I finished, and while I'm not sure what you mean by rough, there was a particular scene near the end...in the dark, where I was like WTF?!? Just...out of the blue, and not a little bit skeevy maybe? Maybe that is what you were referring to? Did not like.

The book overall was very good, but not even one of my top three King books (and not because of "that scene", either...I'm just going to disregard that in my head Big Grin). I had no problem with the length as some do, even though there was a bit of excessive seemingly meaningless description in some places, overall I thought it was pretty tight considering the epic scope.

King seems to be great at writing adult dialogue, but is equally terrible when writing in a kid's voice IMO. Fairy Tale was a great example of this, and to not as large an extent, It.
