Pros: Builds in excitement. A great read. Cons: Takes a few hundred pages to get to the ghosts
Stephen King has written over thirty books. I used to associate his name with horror because of such work as The Shining, Carrie, Pet Semetary and others. But after being surprised to find that he'd penned Stand by Me, The Green Mile and The Shawshank...
Pros: Refrigerator magnets Cons: That whole child-custody subplot
There are two Stephen Kings: the scary and the sensitive. When he’s at his best as a Frightener ("Desperation" and everything before "Pet Semetary"), he grabs you by the arm and twists until you cry "Uncle!" In the...
Pros: A selfconsciously constructed commercial product. Good of its type. Cons: Padded and over-dependent on the cliches of the genre.
Some bestselling books are very assured productions, productions by major literary talents, works marred only by the desire for commercial success. These are the books that have something for everyone. Bag of bones, by Stephen King, is an assured, ...
Pros: A well-done blend of literary genres, New style that works, Plot, Premise, Characters, Scare Factor Cons: A little sad, First two chapters are a little slow
Ever since finishing Stephen King's IT early in 2001, I've been like Ponce de Leon searching for the fountain of youth. However, instead of searching for a fictitious island, I've been searching for the allusive "good...
Pros: Characters, story, and frights. Fast read. Cons: None
I just finished reading this book for the first time. I have read many novels by King and yearned for something newish and unread by myself. Luckily I am enrolled in the Stephen King Book Club, and I have still about a dozen of his novels sitting in ...
Stephen King is the ultimate writer of the mystery and horror genre. His novel Bag of Bones is another great example of why King is the best there ever was in this field. Now those that are King fanatics may be somewhat stunned by the romantic...
Pros: Likeable Characters, Interesting Insight Into Novelist's Craft Cons: More Subtle Story With Less Gore, Lengthy
At 732 pages, Bag Of Bones, is one of King's most ambitious novels. Published in 1998, and released in mass market paperback in June 1999, the writing is both lyrical and atmospheric. Big themes of love, justice and redemption cozy up to a...
Pros: spooky atmosphere, developed characters, SCARY Cons: the first couple hundred pages is sort of boring...
I’m a big Stephen King fan. He’s a brilliant writer that is a role model to anybody who’s a struggling horror/suspense writer (which I am). His characters are all realistic and you believe that they are crazy or depressed or angry without...
Pros: Great characters, nice twist of romance here and there; chilling at times, heart-warming at others! Cons: Sexual references at inappropriate times in story; the first few hundred pages seem to drag
Bag of Bones is very different from some of Stephen King's other well-known novels (IT, The Shining, Cujo) in that the horror aspect of the story is barely there at all. This isn't a bad thing, however. The story combines romance, mystery, the...
I haven't read any books since my son was born, I guess we could say it was reader's block. A friend lent this book to me, knowing that I was a huge Stephen King fan, once I picked it up to read it I couldn't put it down. This book is roughly 730 pages...
Pros: Captivating from the start Cons: Not quite as scary as you might expect
Intro
The title of this book sounds creepy. The jacket cover, featuring the profile of a shrieking woman, looks creepy. The pages beyond the disturbing cover, however, do a lot more than make you go to sleep with a night light....
Pros: Issues of loss--in all its means or modes--beautifully exposed in King-like splendor Cons: Weak ending
BAG OF BONES...
It's not for the squeamish nor for those prone to denial. It is a slice of America -- the good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful... the truth.
King's other novels were all favorites of mine. However, the...
In Bag of Bones, Stephen King builds a web of mystery that draws the reader in slowly and then disappoints in the final two chapters. The book recovers because King remains as good as ever at keeping the reader glued to the page. In fact, it's...
Pros: Your mind and opinion will change with every chapter, it keeps you guessing Cons: The beginning is a little too drawn out
Bag of Bones is one of Stephen's Kings latest books, published in 1998. It's a little less recognized than some of his others and there are reasons for that. I'll get into those later in the review, first I want to talk just a little about the...
Still devastated by the loss of his wife four years ago, bestselling novelist Mike Noonan returns to Sara Laughs, the beloved summer home he and his w...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
