Story
Since his wife died, Ralph Roberts has been having trouble sleeping. Each night he wakes up a bit earlier until he's barely sleeping at all. During his late-night walks, he observes some strange things going on in Derry, Maine. He sees colored ribbons streaming from people's heads, two strange little men wandering around town after dark, and more. He begins to suspect that these visions are something more than hallucinations brought on by lack of sleep.

Subtitled "A Novel Without a Hero", it traces the changing fortunes of two unforgettable women: the scheming opportunist Becky Sharp, one of literature's most resourceful, engaging, and amoral heroines, and her foil, the faithful, naive Amelia Sedley.

Why the Music?
Who had the idea to play music during the reading of an audio book? And what does heavy metal music have to do with Jesuits? I completely wasted my money on this purchase.

The Author gets one star for the Music
I expected to walk away with something, Not this time. I think this was a "High School" paper that the author put to music 20 years after he wrote the paper. This is an empty vessel, what I call a waste of my time. Had I not been trapped on a 7 hour flight I would have been upset after listening to this book. I subjected myself to this book not once but twice. He has a formula and unless those of us that have been ripped off speak out he'll be back with more of this terrible format.

Muffled recording.
Thick nearly incomprehensible accent.
Too many musical tracks - which are too loud.
Auditorily disturbing.
I'm not sure whether or not there was decent information since I could barely understand it.

Sappy music that interferes with the listening and subject matter that assumes you're already an expert in the subject. This thing listens like something that was cut out of the middle of a more descriptive and interesting book. A complete waste of my time and money.

Music, Maestro...NOT
If the author paused to clear his throat, it was a cue to strike up the band, or sometimes, the orchestra. The interesting facts about secret societies, their origins, their place in history and how they influenced, and continue to influence, governments and nations are hard to concentrate on due the constant interruption of music ranging from classical to rock. The author's own accent adds to the difficulties. A listener will get something out of this short read but the production doesn't make it easy.

Waste of a credit
I settled down in my chair to enjoy this one hour long book before my trip, and I was quite frankly, highly disappointed. I was able to make heads or tales of the book due to the blaring heavy metal music in the background which drowned out the narrators voice , preventing any real transfer of information to someone interested in secret societies.
