11-22-63 by myself and The Hail Mary Project with my wife.

I just finished listening to all 14 Honor Harrington novels.

I've listened to 11-22-63 three or four times now, such a great book! I like most of Kings work though.

I loved 11-22-63. Reading Fairy Tale now.

Does the Hail Mary narration get better? I listened to a sample and the child’s voice in the beginning was like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Yeah, the children are only for setting some of the scene, but they come back for a few short (like less than 5 minute) scenes. The easiest solution is double speed, it is extremely listenable with that small change and well worth the effort.

I think the narration was great, the children just appear at the very beginning of the book
