LT's Theory of Pets
Scritto da Stephen King
Narrato da Stephen King
Descrizione
Stephen King delivers a haunting, heartfelt performance as he shares a story about the bonds between husbands, wives and pets.
LT has a theory about pets, particularly his Siamese cat. It had been their cat not just his cat, but that was until he came home one day to a note on the fridge. His wife had left him.
The cat stayed behind...
Recorded live at London's Royal Festival Hall, LT's Theory of Pets demonstrates yet again that Stephen King is a master storyteller.

- (3/5)This was much funnier than most King stories! I actually chuckled aloud several times as I listened! Lots of bad language, but totally within the character of LT, and again, often pretty dang funny! It's all about marriage, and pets, and, well, storytelling itself. LT's actual theory isn't very good, but the story, until the end, is! The end left me completely unsatisfied, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. But it is well worth the listen, and it's pretty cool to hear it in its author's own voice!
- (2/5)Mildly entertaining, but not one of his best. The ending was abrupt.
- (4/5)This was a really fun audio book to listen to. Stephen King does a good job with the reading, he has a real sense of comic timing, and his characterization of LT is great. As expected, even Stephen King's comedic writing ends up having its dark side.
- (5/5)I really liked listening to this audio book. This was read by Stephen King himself and has a much lighter, more humorous quality to it. (But then those of us who know Stephen King realize something must go horrifically wrong before the end!) It is not a full novel, in fact barely a short story, but still quite entertaining.
- (4/5)Read by the author this one shows the humorous side of Stephen King.
- (3/5)Great to hear this being read by the King himself!
- (3/5)Loved that this book was read by Stephen King. The more I hear him speak the louder his voice sounds in my head when I read his work. LT's Theory of Pets was ok. it was quick listen while I got some chores done. This was not one of King's fearful works, though. Just a fun tale.
- (5/5)Stephen King nailed a great mixture of humor, horror, and life lessons all in one. Skip the marriage counselor and read this book. It’ll work a lot faster! ;)
- (5/5)Funnier than expected-especially for King. Real treat to hear him read his own work, Maine accent and all.
- (5/5)That was good and funny. A pleasant hour with Stephen King!
