Summary
King and Chizmar join forces again with a powerful novel that is also the final chapter in the Gwendy trilogy.
When Gwendy Peterson was 12, a stranger named Richard Farris gave her a mysterious box for safekeeping. It offered treats and vintage coins, but it was dangerous. Pushing any of its seven coloured buttons promised death and destruction.
Years later, the button box re-entered Gwendy's life. A successful novelist and a rising political star, she was once more forced to deal with the temptations that the box represented - an amazing sense of well-being, balanced by a terrifyingly dark urge towards disaster.
With the passing of time, the box has grown ever stronger and evil forces are striving to possess it. Once again, it is up to Gwendy Peterson, now a United States senator battling the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, to keep it from them. At all costs. But where can you hide something from such powerful entities?
Gwendy's Final Task is a wildly suspenseful and at the same time deeply moving novel in which 'horror giants' (Publishers Weekly) Stephen King and Richard Chizmar take us on a journey from Castle Rock to another famous cursed Maine city to the MF-1 space station, where Gwendy must execute a secret mission to save the world. And, maybe, all worlds.

Gwendys Final Task
A return to form for the series after the disappointing Gwendys Magic Feather. It really shows that the final instalment in the series is co-written with Mr. King. Good story that ties up the loose ends and brings a satisfying conclusion to the button box and Gwendys journey. Definitely recommended.

Fabulous end to a trilogy
The worst thing about listening to a Steven King novel is the end, I want it to go on and on. This is a fitting end to this series of books. Fantastic writing from both authors, and brilliantly narrated.

not bad story if you read all three .
I think they're best as a trilogy. the first might leave you wanting and the others need the preceding books to make sense imo. I like the protagonist being female but don't like that she * almost faints * wgenfeeling strong emotions. it's a little sentimental at times and follows a familiar KING theme if good and evil. I don't know the other author who wrote book 2 on his own but their styles feel similar. not keen in the narrator's voice tbh .

Low men in space suits?
Great to get more DT tied in stories, and to hear what the TET corporation is up to but the readers frequent frog in her throat made it annoying to listen to at times.
I know it’s hard to switch from voice to voice but pause the recording and cough it up occasionally.

Excellent end to a trilogy
The series is well written, SK departs after book 1. However it continues in the same vein. For Amy die hard SK fans the links to the SK universe continues and in the end is at the heart of the Dark Tower concept. So a good story and exciting as an SK fan

Great novel
it took me a bit longer to get in to as the start was a bit slow and it took me a while to get used to the narrator as well, as she is not the same as the one who did the first two books. I liked both narrators however and after getting used to it and getting further into the book, I really it. I loved the references to Derry and the characters were wonderful.
the ending was great,a perfect ending for Gwendy, that made me quite emotional.
overall, fab book!

Very slow
very slow, particularly when the author had three books to build up momentum. It feels like the Stephen King universe has been used rather than extended.
