Summary: Absolutely fantastic!
Review: Deceptive as usual, King sets the hook with a story that starts off in "Normal" gear and races before you know it into "Spooky" and beyond into gruesome. The story is told in retrospect by an aged attorney who, during his career at a New York law firm, gets invited by a senior partner to join him at a private men's club. Members are greeted and served by the ubiquitous semi-sinister butler-type character. The club and its furnishings have some mysteries of their own that are tantalizing but never fully revealed. The main activity at the club is storytelling, which leads to King's central plot. Christmas time at the club was reserved for a scary story, and a doctor recounts a poignant and horrible tale from his past about a young woman patient "in trouble" in the mid-1930's. Surprisingly, (along with the revulsion) I was saddened by the intimate view of the way women were treated at that time.

Review: Listen to this on a dark night by the fire, or while driving out on a lonely road. Stephen King truly outdid himself on this one. The descriptions are exceptional -- the dark, snowy streets... the warm, cozy club... you can clearly picture every detail. The story itself is two-fold, one within the other. While the recounting within the book of a young women's pregnancy gives the book its name, it is the experiences of the main character, an attorney, that are the truly terrifying part.

Summary: A CHILLING READING
Review: Reader Frank Muller delivers this tale with aplomb. Taken from King's superb story collection, "Different Seasons," the action takes place in a tony Big Apple men's club where there are no membership dues. Membership rises and falls with the telling of tales. Who can tell them better than King. This time out his subject is a woman who is bound and determined to give birth no matter what. Scary? Of course. It's King, isn't it?

Summary: Breathing method wins my approval
Review: Stephen King has written another attention grabber. I read, and listened, as I have both the paperback and the audio book. I found this book great, as it follows both the imaginary and the real sides of life. I found that as I read the book, I really would like to visit the library that is described in the book. This book follows down a strange path, emerging in what could almost be explained as a real story of fact in the past. I recommend this novel, and the audio book as the narrator does a great job, it will not dissapoint as "everything's eventual" did, in my opinion. Good luck and good reading! (Note: The audio version of this book is narrated by FRANK MULLER. Anyone who has listened to Stephen King Audio Books has sure to have been wowwed by Frank Muller. In this audio book recording, Frank Muller's voice is almost unrecognizable and amazing as he plays this roll. Frank Muller and audio books are truly like movies for your mind).
