I can't even put my finger on what I didn't like about it. I just had a much easier time putting it down that I did some of his other novels. ( )My favorite King book! Would make a Great movie but would totally ruin the movie in my head every time I read it! Contrary to what I had heard, King isn't a bad narrator. He's not awesome, but he is good. And he is still one of the best storytellers I've read. I didn't care much for this novel at first, but it's grown on me a lot with a couple of re-readings. As an old-school ghost story in a modern setting, it does its job quite marvelously, and as a slowly-closing net of interlocking mysteries (What was his wife not telling him, and why? What happened to Sara? And what the hell is this town's problem, anyway?) it impresses me with each new reading. Much as Insomnia did, I think this book is going to settle in even more deeply with me over time. It may seem to roll impossibly slowly on first reading, but it rewards patience. I've heard many people say they didn't like this novel. I disagree. This was one of King's greatest literary works. Mr. King has better story lines, but in Bag of Bones his writing is superb. A modern-day classic. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Amazon.com Amazon.com Audio Review (ISBN 067102423X, Mass Market Paperback)No longer content to be the prolific provider of text, King grabs the audio reigns to recount this haunted tale of grief, young love, and otherworldly visits. When 40-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan returns to his lakeside cabin to process his wife's death, he finds the place a beacon for nightmares and ghoulish visits. But there's hope in Kingsville, as this struggling writer falls in love with a young widow named Mattie and her 3-year-old psychic daughter, Kyra. If you've never heard King speak, be warned: 19-plus hours of his western Maine, nasal-drenched tones may be more than some listeners can bear. But there's a certain warmth and believability to King's voice--after all, it's his book and he is a middle-aged bestselling novelist--that jive well with Noonan's character. And since King rarely reads his own work, perhaps his doing so indicates that he's especially pleased with Bag of Bones; most listeners should be as well. (Running time: 19.5 hours, 14 cassettes) --Rob McDonald(retirado da Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:19 -0400) O primeiro ciclo de testes foi encerrado.
