Good storyline

If you liked Stand By Me, this is a story for you! I can’t wait to share this with my granddaughter. She will love it!

Good characters but wished the story was longer.

As stated above I enjoyed the character interactions between the kids, but every other character felt kind of bland. Also the idea of a sluggish monster invading a small town but aside from its lethality & the dramatic discovery of its weakness I wished the creature could've been expanded upon. Also I wished the author didnt resort to so much crude language. Overall though it was an enjoyable listen, especially during Halloween.

Get Lost In It

I Loved This Book! I could not turn it off! Everything I did, I took this book with me. This writer has never failed me, and always leaves me yearning for more of his writings!

enjoyable

night of the creeps meets the faculty with a bit of the thing thrown in for good measure. Enjoyable story and narration

Fun Read

Reminds me of Stand by me+The Goonies and Stranger Things all put together. Fun Read

Enthralled!

If you love a book that sucks you in immediately and leaves you pondering the possibilities long after the epilogue is over, this is the book for you! Tony Urban has a knack for creating incredibly relatable characters that the reader can really connect to. The friendship between the characters transported me back to my own childhood and I felt like a participant in the group rather than an outside observer. The story was horrific, gory, gross, sad, nerve-wracking, frightening, and yet funny enough to have me laughing out loud many times. Reminiscent of Stranger Things, Within the Woods takes the reader along on a wild ride and leaves you hoping for a sequel when you’re finished!

Really scary!

This is a good one! Sort of reminds me of early Stephen King. It’s well written with characters that you really like and cheer for. Sometimes you cheer, sometimes you despair, and sometimes you crack up. If you enjoy alien invasion horror, you’ll enjoy this.

Horror and Comedy DO Mix!

Story 5/5
Narration - 5/5

"Within the Woods" by Tony Urban is one of the best coming-of-age tales I've read or listened to, and has to be in my top ten of the year.

The narrator is very talented.

As good as this story is, this is a case of must-listen-to if there ever was one!

Highly Recommended

silly fun

honestly, I'm a 50 yr old women and this book was written from the perspective of 12 yr old boys. and that just made me laugh! I enjoyed it.

Lost Boys Like Humor in well written tale!

I am definitely buying more books and audiobooks by Tony Urban! It reminded me of Stephen King from my early days, reading his work and with unabashed and unedited humor! I was riveted from the beginning all the way to the end! The story reminded me so much of the horror movies that I used to watch as a teenager and a young adult! And now that kind of writing style is back!
