About this listen

Everything is familiar. But everything has changed.

Coming back to the little community is like walking into a nightmare for Jim Gardener, poet, drunk, potential suicide.

It all looks the same: the house; the furniture; Jim's friend, Bobbi; her beagle (though ageing); even the woods out at the back. But it was in the woods that Bobbi stumbled over the odd, part-buried object and felt a peculiar tingle as she brushed the soft earth away.

Everything is familiar. But everything is about to change.

©1987 Stephen King (P)2010 Penguin Audio Horror Suspense Thriller & Suspense Scary

My first Audio book. Loved it. Great story which I was aware of as I had been advised to read this and I have read past SK books all of which I have enjoyed. I drive a lot so I wondered how good an audio book would be well it was super reading and I was able to focus on the story as well as drive. I look forward to trying more.

My first ever audio book.

Another great book by Stephen King with memorable characters you feel like you know so well. The Tommyknockers had me laughing and even gave me a tear for 4 year old David Brown. I would definitly recommend.

Fantastic

Super story with some fantastic characters. I loved the insidious menace of "becoming" and the way it corrupted characters that you felt empathy for but ultimately wanted to fail. Grim, gory and glorious in equal measure.

If you go down to the woods today... beware!

I love Stephen King but I didn’t like this book. It was too descriptive and drawn out for me.

Not for me.

As the first Stephen King book I ever read some 20+ years ago, The Tommyknockers will always hold a special place in my heart. The audiobook did not disappoint. Fantastic storytelling by King accompanied by masterful narration by Edward Herrmann. Fantastic.

Just brilliant.

Not my favourite Stephen King book but still a 5 star,
Kept me entertained throughout with its imaginative but well thought out story and great conclusions.

Maybe my wife read it when she was younger because she hardly ever picks up the vacuum cleaner.

Great

After reading a few bad reviews on this book online I was hesitant, but let me assure you listeners this book is another great from Stephen King, the story flows well with the very little preamble and is very compelling.

Another Great
