Customer Reviews for: The Gingerbread Girl

  

Rating 3 out of 5 - short story
As usual good story, expected a longer one. He always keeps you on your toes.
Rating 3 out of 5 - Would have liked more "bad guy" character development
I'm hooked on all the Stephen King audiobooks, having just finished the Dark Tower series doing time in my Toyota over the last 4 months and loving every minute! I'm a big fan and was just mildly disappointed that the "bad guy" in this offering was underdeveloped--so much so that he seemed less frightening than stereotypical. Definitely entertaining but not so much 'meat' here, in my opinion.
Rating 3 out of 5 - Okay But Nothing Special
I love audiobooks and especially short story audiobooks because they can be consumed so quickly. The Gingerbread Girl is better than King's Stationary Bike but not as good as Riding the Bullet or some of his efforts in Everything's Eventual.

Gingerbread Girl has a lot of focus on "exercise/getting in shape" (a common King theme since his accident, see also Stationary Bike and Duma Key). It is also less supernatural and more of a classic thriller. It is pretty gripping once it gets going. However, I didn't really connect much to the female character, so I didn't feel as invested as I should have been. For the recording, Mare Winningham does an okay job. Her voice can be a little plain at times.
Rating 5 out of 5 - Stephen King Gingerbread Girl
It is a two hour story - one disk. I enjoyed the story. I love Stephen King's books/audios ;-)
Rating 5 out of 5 - Stephen King's The Gingerbread Girl - CD
Another great book by Stephen King. However, this was my first encounter with books on CD and I found it to be a very satisfying experience. Mare Winningham did a commendable job with the read.
