About this listen

“I loved The Death House. It's moving and totally involving. Pinborough writes with vividness and emotional resonance. I couldn't put it down." (Stephen King)

This is an exceptional, contemporary, heart-breaking novel.

Toby's life was perfectly normal--until it was unravelled by something as simple as a blood test.

Taken from his family, Toby now lives in the Death House: an out-of-time existence far from the modern world, where he and the others who live there are studied by Matron and her team of nurses. They're looking for any sign of sickness. Any sign of their wards changing. Any sign that it's time to take them to the sanatorium.

No one returns from the sanatorium.

Withdrawn from his housemates and living in his memories of the past, Toby spends his days fighting his fear. But then a new arrival in the house shatters the fragile peace, and everything changes. Because everybody dies. It's how you choose to live that counts.

really liked the story, characters were likeable and we'll developed. Some reviewers have spoken of a twist, and while I thought the story was lovely I can't say there was a twist ( I guessed half way through what would happen) or that I was surprised by what happened.

The narration was good, he really made the characters come alive. Not sure who my favourite character was, they all had their plus points and unlike other books none of them got on my nerves.

lovely story with well developed characters

The title of my review, says it all. Brilliant book, couldn't stop listening, and saddened when it ended. Brilliant work by Sarah, and narrated perfectly! Highly recommend.

I read the book last year and loved it, so knew I'd enjoy the audiobook, but Ben Elliott brings such life to the characters that I was an emotional wreck by the end. Think The Fault in our Stars mixed with Shawshank Redemption and you might get somewhere close. Bring tissues.

Beautiful.

Interesting all the way through

A beautiful story, more a semi dystopian novel rather than horror or sci fi or whatever else it has been marketed as. NOT a silly love story though, it's one with depth and substance and a real founding story. I enjoyed it, despite it not being what I originally thought. Fabulous narration!!

This isn't her best piece but it's worth a listen. So many books can blur together for me, but this one is memorable!

Intriguing story, different
