This was a terrific read/listen. The story was tight, tense, interesting, and Stephen Kingesque without being a rip-off. I very much liked the main characters and never questioned how they acted and reacted in such a bizarre situation, which is impressive. The narration by John Lee was excellent and exactly what narration should be. It only took about 6 hours to listen to, so I'm imagining that reading it outright would only take one good night. And it'd be worth it to stay up past your bedtime to get it finished.
