An unspeakable crime. A confounding investigation. At a time when the King brand has never been stronger, he has delivered one of his most unsettling and compulsively listenable stories.
An 11-year-old boy's violated corpse is found in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizens. He is Terry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon add DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad.
As the investigation expands and horrifying answers begin to emerge, King's propulsive story kicks into high gear, generating strong tension and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy, but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will shock you as only Stephen King can.
Kritikerstimmen
"Narrator Will Patton turns this story into an audio blockbuster.... King's usual sprawling cast of characters is also present, and suffice it to say that Patton does them all justice." (AudioFile)

Geschichte
In the middle of the night, in a house on a quiet street in suburban Minneapolis, intruders silently murder Luke Ellis' parents and load him into a black SUV. The operation takes less than two minutes. Luke will wake up at The Institute, in a room that looks just like his own, except there's no window. And outside his door are other doors, behind which are other kids with special talents - telekinesis and telepathy - who got to this place the same way Luke did: Kalisha, Nick, George, Iris, and 10-year-old Avery Dixon.

Geschichte
Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was 10, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself—and his dad. Then, when Charlie is 17, he meets a dog named Radar and his aging master, Howard Bowditch, a recluse in a big house at the top of a big hill, with a locked shed in the backyard. Sometimes strange sounds emerge from it.

In this brilliantly conceived tour de force, Stephen King - who has absorbed the social, political, and popular culture of his generation more imaginatively and thoroughly than any other writer - takes listeners on an incredible journey into the past and the possibility of altering it.

Geschichte
There was a new shop in town. Run by a stranger. Needful Things, the sign said. The oddest name. A name that caused some gossip and speculation among the good folks of Castle Rock, Maine, while they waited for opening day. Eleven-year-old Brian Rusk was the first customer and he got just what he wanted, a very rare 1956 Sandy Koufax baseball card. Signed. Cyndi Rose Martin was next. A Lalique vase. A perfect match for her living room decor. Something for everyone.

Leland Gaunt opens a new shop in Castle Rock called Needful Things. Anyone who enters his store finds the object of his or her lifelong dreams and desires: a prized baseball card, a healing amulet. In addition to a token payment, Gaunt requests that each person perform a little "deed", usually a seemingly innocent prank played on someone else from town. These practical jokes cascade out of control, and soon the entire town is doing battle with itself. Only Sheriff Alan Pangborn suspects that Gaunt is behind the population's increasingly violent behavior.

I couldn't put my phone down!
This is the first audio book I finished within just days of purchasing it. Sometimes I find my mind wandering when I listen to books but this story left me wanting more, even long after I had finished with it. And funnily enough, I even felt sad when the story came to an end.
I absolutely adore King but even I will admit that sometimes, he likes to take his time with the build-up, which can become tedious. However, with this book I feel like King has outdone himself again.
The characters not only arouse your interest but also keep it during the whole story. I felt like I was personally involved in their lives. I drew my own conclusions, I chose sides, had opinions, felt angry, upset and even heartbroken. I actually felt like I knew them in person. Yet King reveals nothing, keeping you in suspense, making you question your opinions, thoughts and feelings, as you delve deeper into his world. You will not be bored for one moment!
It may not be the most original story but it's enthralling, eccentric, mysterious and exciting with a hint of King, just the way I like it.
The narrator has a great voice and portrays the characters and story amazingly well. I would definitively love to listen to him again. So very pleased that I purchased this book.☺

Buy this book immediately! Sofort kaufen!
I have been a fan of King's books since I was 12 or 13 years old. These days I listen to them rather than read them myself. And if there is a new "King", I will devour it immediately. And if Will Patten is the performer - all the better. He is amazing! This new book is about what happens when an unstopable force hits an unmoveable object. Terry Maitland, a pillar of The Flint City community is arrested for the terrible murder of a small boy. All of the evidence Points unmistakingly to him. But at the time the murder took place, Terry definately was not in town. The book is shocking, intense, exciting and it won't let you go until you are done. Brilliant!
Seit meinem 12 oder 13. Lebensjahr bin ich scho ein Fan der Bücher von Stephen King. Im Moment bin ich dazu übergegangen, sie mir anzuhören, anstatt sie selbst zu lesen. Im englischen Original ist das besonders gut. Und dann auch noch gelesen von Will Patton - Volltreffer! In diesem Buch geht es darum, was passiert, wenn eine unwiderstehliche Kraft auf ein unbewegliches Objekt trifft: Terry Maitland, Stützpfeiler der Gesellschaft in der Kleinstadt Flint City wird wegen des grausamen Mordes an einem kleinen Jungen verhaftet. Alle Beweise (Augenzeugenbereichte, Fingerspuren, DNA-Beweise) deuten unmissverständlich auf ihn als Täter hin. Nur: Zur Zeit des Mordes war Terry nachweislich nicht in der Stadt... Das Buch ist unheimlich, schockierend und mitreissend. Es wird Euch nicht loslassen, bis der letzte Ton verklungen ist! Der Hammer!

Das Böse, das Gute, das Übliche
In Flint City, einer Kleinstadt im Süden der USA, wird ein 11-jähriger Junge auf brutalste Weise vergewaltigt und ermordet. Als Detective Ralp Anderson die Fingerabdrücke des stadtbekannten Baseball-Trainers Terry Maitland am Tatort findet und mehrere Zeugen bestätigen, Maitland zum fraglichen Zeitpunkt am Tatort und sogar mit dem Jungen gesehen zu haben, scheint der Fall klar - so klar sogar, dass Anderson den Trainer vor beinahe 2000 Menschen bei einem Spiel im Stadion verhaften lässt, ohne ihn zuvor auch nur befragt zu haben.
Das erweist sich als folgenschwerer Fehler, denn schnell stellt sich heraus, dass Maitland ein Alibi hat - eines, dass sich unmöglich widerlegen lässt.
Doch zu diesem Zeitpunkt nimmt das Geschehen bereits unaufhaltbar seinen Lauf...
Um nicht mehr zu verraten, beende ich hier die Inhaltsbeschreibung.
The Outsider ist, wie so viele Bücher von King, ausgehend vom Konzept der Existenz eines abgrundtief Bösen konstruiert. Als ich 15 war und meinen ersten "King" gelesen habe, fand ich das ungemein gruselig und spannend. Heute entlockt es mir keinen Schauder mehr - leider.
Der Anfang des Buches ist für meinen Geschmack sehr gelungen, als es dann aber in die Auseinandersetzung mit jenem eben erwähnten Bösen abdriftet, hörte ich es zwar zu Ende, aber wirklich begeistern konnte mich die Geschichte nicht mehr. Es wirkt wie eine so einfache Lösung, wenn durch fantastische oder Horror-Elemente schlichtweg jegliche Handlungsverwirrung erklärt und ausgemerzt werden kann - logische Stringenz ist dann verzichtbar.
Hinzu kam, dass Sprecher Will Patton mich nicht überzeugen konnte.
Allem voran seine Interpretation einer weiteren, spät eingeführten Hauptfigur - Holly Gibney, die King-Fans aus früheren Romanen bekannt sein dürfte - ist allenfalls schwer erträglich. Patton spricht sie stockend, als stünde sie ständig kurz vor Ohnmacht oder wahlweise Debilität.
Das macht das Zuhören ab dem Moment, als Holly auftaucht, zur Qual. Auch zuvor war ich kein Fan von Pattons Interpretation gewesen, aber ab da: unsäglich.

Der Meister lässt nach
Mir hat der Roman nicht gefallen. Zu losgelöst von jeglicher Atmosphäre wird eine, in meinen Augen, schwache Geschichte erzählt. Will Patton liest gut,aber seine Art, dick aufzutragen, fand ich eher störend. Ich bewundere Stephen King, aber der letzte wirklich gute Roman von ihm liegt schon lange zurück. Kein Wunder, angesichts seines gigantischen Outputs.

Suspense to the end
I loved listening to this audio book. King painted the characters very vividly, though not in a way that would have given anything away. The reader has to choses a side by him- or herself. The story is absolutely compelling. It was beautifully told, the speaker kept my attention at all times. I would recommend this read to anyone who enjoys crime and horror.

couldn't make myself finish it
Any book performed by Will Patton is a gift. He's such an excellent reader he can usually get me over any length in a story.
Not so with this one. The Outsider is just ... boring. It pains me to say this but it's true. I'm 10 hrs into it and I still don't care for any of the characters! Usually, with Stephen King, even if you sorta know where the story is going, you can always rely on the personal relationships between the quirky characters to sustain you.
Here, the basic conundrum "how can someone be im two places at the same time?" is exposed early and often but it's a King story, so let's get on with it ... except we don't. We keep on beating that dead horse and since I don't care about any of the characters, I can't take a detour until the story picks up my interest.
I think this is more in the vein of Mr Mercedes than Needful Things - so if you like the Mercedes Trilogy, you'll probably like this one, too.
Plus: Will Patton :)

Great book but difficult for on the go
Compelling story. Sadly the speaker changes his voice between different parts so much that it is difficult to hear on the go. One part is spoken very softly and if you turn up the volume your ears are ready to burst when the next part is spoken very loud. Difficult if you listening to the book on the go.
