About this listen
"You're a firestarter honey.... just one big zippo lighter." A year ago, he was an upstanding instructor of English at Harrison State College. Now Andy is on the run with his daughter, a pigtailed girl named Charlie. A girl with an unimaginably terrifying gift. A gift which could be useful to corrupt authorities. Soon Charlie will be caught up in the menace of a fateful drug experiment and a sinister government ploy….
Let the listener beware: Firestarter is Stephen King at his most mesmerising…. and menacing.

Perfectly fine and scratches that King itch
It’s not one of King’s best books, but there’s enough here to keep you interested. The reading is perfectly serviceable.

I’m just a Stephen King Stan
Every book I listen to I’m more and more enticed. His books are really something. This one is absolutely brilliant and I sunk my teeth in. I never wanted to stop listening but with work and life I had to drag it out and every moment of everyday I’ve looked forward to every bus ride just to carry it on !!! Definitely worth it !!!

Fab
This was one of the very first SK books I read 34 years ago. Forgot how good it was. Well narrated, full of twists and turns.

Great
This is a great book. The narrator reads well and helps to bring the story to life. It gets exciting in parts and overall is an interesting concept for a novel. It didn't grab me as quickly as some of his novels do, but we'll with reading.

The author delivers another good one
Having already seen the film I knew the story and was prepared to enjoy it. I wasn't disappointed.

Firestarter
I had this book in my audio library months before starting it, I don't know why but I just didn't think I would enjoy it, however the story was different to the one I'd envisaged and little by little I started to get more involved so that I was cheering near the end when Charlie vented her anger at The Shop. The narration was superb with none of that annoying music that seems to be on so many of SK`s audible books
