Summary
Creating George Stark was easy. Getting rid of him won't be....
The sparrows are flying again. The idea - unbidden, inexplicable - haunts the edge of Thad Beaumont's mind. Thad should be happy. For years now it is his secret persona, George Stark, author of superviolent pulp thrillers, who has paid the family bills. But now Thad is writing seriously again under his own name, and his menacing pseudonym has been buried forever. And yet...the sparrows are flying again, and something is terribly wrong in Thad Beaumont's world.

This is King in top form
I’m an unusual Stephen King fan in that I love his work (I’ve read about 40 or so titles) but I will always call him out if a book is bad (Lisey’s Story I’m looking at you).
But this book is Stephen King as the world originally fell in love with him. Great characters, great plot/story and this one gets pretty damn dark in places.
I loved this story and would recommend it to anyone. It was also helped by a great narrator which is hugely important to me.

Really enjoyed this book
Good story. Great narration. Really enjoyed this book. One of my favourite authors so always enjoy most of his books. Not up there with his classics but good nonetheless.

his usual excellence
True to style, a bit gruesome in places but the heroes carry the same traits as always, as do the villains! Where this man gets his ideas from, goodness only knows and not sure I want to know. Kept me engaged the whole way through, in no small part due to Grover Gardner's excellent narration. He is one of the best audio book narrators I've come across. Mr King does it again

Excellent
The narrator really brought this to life. Having listened to many King audiobooks now, he’s head and shoulders above the rest including SK himself. Outstanding!

The Sparrows Are Flying Again...
An author seems to have it all, a new set of twins, a happy marriage and a blossoming career... only when he was eleven he had his twin surgically removed from his brain as a mere group of cells containing an eye and fingers, nice.
The pen name he uses has had his day and a big PR stunt shows he's done for good, only now someone with the author's dna is bumping off people. What does this have to do with the pen name?
