Bag of Bones

Rating:
Summary: My Opinion...
Review: This was an excellent addition to the Stephen King collection. The character flow was good and the story was easy to follow. But the ending, like many of his novels, lacked some direction. It ended so fast you'd think he wrote the ending while on his way to the publisher. If there was another chapter to kinda tie up some lose ends this would have a been one of the best novels I've ever read.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent. King writes so terrifyingly well.
Review: I really enjoyed Bag of Bones. It took awhile to build up to the climactic ending but the book held me interested nonetheless. His imagination is so incredible, I dont know how he comes up with this stuff. I was so surprised by the end and loved the characters realistic personas. I also loved that it was written in first person, making me wonder if any of the story was autobiographical when it came to the main character's difficulty in writing, only to be inspired again by his wife.

Summary: His best book till this date.
Review: Bag of bones is Stephens best book. It showes the reader that the master of the macabre can write as well as any one else not just horrer stories with tons of blood pouring out of the pages.

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: Stephen King consistently underestimates the power of his own writing, which probably accounts for his permissive attitude towards filmed vandalizations (including his own) of his words. A camera cannot capture metaphoric nuance, poetry cannot be "adapted" to a screen. I never heard so many dumb questions from an interviewer than the ones from Amazon. Carrie was published by Doubleday for a modest advance, however after acclaim from in-house editors at Doubleday, Publishers Weekly, and readers, and was successful in paperback THEN film studios came snooping. Brian De Palma's previous oeuvre consisted of Phantom of the Paradise! & Hi Mom!even the minimal qualities the came through the film from its source is what "made" De Plama, after which he degenerated again. Good books resist being "adapted", how many Hemingway adaptations work? Stephen King is no less a writer.

Summary: "...a haunting story of loss and love."
Review: It was a very carefully written work of literature. It has an excellent storyline and the characters are depicted excellently into any reader's mind. This is honestly one of Stephen King's best books in a long time aside from the Dark Tower series and The Green Mile.

Review: Stephen King goes back to the basics to do what he does best: Tell spooky stories. If you like Classis King, you'll love this book!

Rating:
Summary: King's best book yet.Read beautifully by King himself.
Review: I loved this book! Stephen Kings character development is just awesome. I could picture each character in my mind with such clarity.The story had all the elements you would expect from King and then some.I laughed, I cried, I held my breath in anticipation, I was frightened and really pissed off at a couple of the characters.Mr. King did a superb job of reading this book. After listening to the audio version for twent-two hours I was so depressed when the book ended, so enduring were the characters.I will listen to this book again and again!
