And Stephen Lang is a good reader, but why did the cheapskates at Simon&Schuster abridge this audiobook? The print version isn't that long and there are many interesting and important sections of the book that have been cut out. If someone can record an endless Stephen King novel on 26, yes 26, disks, why couldn't they have stretched to the 8 or 9 disks needed to read all of this excellent book?
