Ero partito poco convinto, superato un po' lo scoglio iniziale ho letto questo libro dovendomi fermare a forza per non finirlo tutto in una sola seduta... forse uno dei migliori, forse IL migliore di Stephen King. ( ![]() This is absolutely one of Stephen King's BEST! This is the kind of work that made him the legend that he deserves to be. It stands alongside his greatest works like It and The Stand, and I daresay Lisey's Story! A great tale might actually have a very simple premise. And though, really the tale does not have that simple a premise, its plot is only a few feet deep and yet, the way he followed the style of Dickens in publishing this in parts, is amazing. I of course listened to the whole, and maybe that made the listening much better! There are parts of this great tale that simply move you to tears, and that, is what a great author is wont to accomplish! ABSOLUTELY KING AT HIS FINEST!! The best King story I've read yet, featuring all of his storytelling strengths without his weaknesses. Good story, but I am not a fan of King’s writing. His overwriting is what does me in. Never read anyone who can draw out a description or plot point to the degree King can. I’d say I skimmed ove 1/4 of this book due to overwritten, endless descriptions of things. His books tend to be overly long as a result and I end them exhausted from the effort to self edit his run on writing Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
