5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant classic, August 24, 1999

This review is from: Mrs. Todd's Shortcut (Audio Cassette)

I received this cassette about ten years ago, when I was pretty much still a kid. I have grown up with this story; it has kept my family company on many a long car trip. Well, the older I get, the more I understand and appreciate the brilliance of this tale. The reading is excellent. I really feel as if I'm "cursin' and spittin' " up those "woods roads" along with Homer and Ophelia in her little Go-Devil. The narrator truly deserves an award for his reading. I don't know if it could ever be topped! He changes voices convincingly, and has the New England dialect down pat. Trust me, audio book fans, this cassette is magic! My biggest fear is that I will wear out my old copy before I can locate another. It's that good.

I wish this version would be re-recorded onto CD as so many vehicle manufacturers have dropped cassette players.
This is a brilliant rendition of King's tale and sends a shiver through me whenever I listen to it. At 63 I would love to find Ophelia Todd's shortcut myself.
