I think this would be longer than anything that I've listened to. I've listened to It (44 hours) and The Stand (47 hours), but this is still longer. I don't mind long as long as the story is good. <br /><br />Melanie @ <a href="http://www.hotlistens.com/tag/reviewed-by-mlsimmons/" rel="nofollow">Hot Listens</a> & <a href="http://rabidreads.ca/category/reviews/by-reviewer/melanie" rel="nofollow">Rabid Reads</a> & <a href="https://booksofmyheart.net/author/melanie/" rel="nofollow">Books of My Heart</a>Melanie (@AudiobookMel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12682752959290631075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875242362336197892.post-54823971130405967842018-04-07T15:55:23.494-05:002018-04-07T15:55:23.494-05:0049 hours is a whole lot of book!49 hours is a whole lot of book!Carole's Random Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06737905249530702688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2875242362336197892.post-63096616108873553342018-04-07T15:54:55.756-05:002018-04-07T15:54:55.756-05:00I have listened to some pretty long books and it i...I have listened to some pretty long books and it is really faster than you would think.

I feel like I know the major plot points, and would rather read a new story. Holy cow! 49 hours!! That would take me weeks to listen to. Probably too big a commitment for me.
