Welcome back to Quicky Reviews.
Now that it is the end of the year I am desperately trying to wrap up all my mini reviews as well. There is just something about starting the new year with zero book on your "To Review" pile. After these two I just have 1 book review and 4 mini reviews to go.
These two audiobooks were read for the R.I.P. Reading Challenge (October) and they were both short audiobooks from the library.
Here are just a few sentences on these short (about 2 hours or less) stories.
There are other Quicky Reviews for you to check out too and don't worry
there will be more to come. I like short stories because most
of them are FREE and I can get in and out of one in no time.
Below are the links to the other Quicky Reviews this year.

My Thoughts
Stephen King is scary and this book is more of the subtle scary and not the jump out and make you feel like screaming your head off. It's a thinking mans scary. I enjoyed it!

My Thoughts
I hated it!!! No really! Tell me why in the heck would you have a female narrator reading male characters? Why? I was so pissed by the title too. I thought I would get a short story instead I got snippets of full stories. This sucked! The cover even pisses me off. ARGH! What a waste!
Have you read or listen to any of these? What did you think?
