by Stephen King, Richard Chizmar
Gwendy's Button Box
Wasn't bad, but I was less than impressed. Felt like it was missing something.
This review can also be found Carole's Random Life in Books.I really enjoyed this little story! This was one of those books that once you started you wanted to keep listening. This book isn't very long so it really is no surprise that I was able to listen to it in a single day but I started this one...
I listened to this as an unabridged audiobook read by Maggie Siff who starred in Son’s of Anarchy. I never watched that show because there’s no monsters in it (I know, I am a terrible person, no need to tell me) so I don’t know her work.

He had been watching her yet, all she was concerned about was whether she made it to the top of Castle View.

What else can I say about this book? It's Stephen King! I'm a bit bias when it comes to his books. I usually don'...
Very nicely done.
This is a short story about a girl with a magic box. She has to resist pushing the buttons because terrible things can happen. Not too much actually does happen in the story. I guess it's just supposed to make you think. I thought it was ok. To me the super short story The Music Room that was i...
Seriously. I needed this to be longer. I wanted it to be longer. I had so many questions left and I really do hope that King follows this up with the next owner of the button box someday. "Gwendy's Button Box" is another Castle Rock book. Yeah, I thought we were done with that place. But King take...
