I don’t know how Steven King is able to write a detective trilogy where we as the reader know everything that is happening, but are still completely intrigued as the detective is finding it out. I thought this was a great ending to a wonderful horror trilogy.
Honestly this trilogy has started a new obsession with Steven King and now I have plans to read everything he has written.

Probably the strongest entry in the Bill Hodges Trilogy-- I enjoyed the supernatural direction this took that was not present in the previous installments. Ultimately, though, I'd say this trilogy constitutes some of King's least compelling writing. I guess I just didn't really care for most of the characters, nor did the story feel especially fresh.

Абсолютный провал. Первые две книги были круты главным злодеем, который воплощал абсолютное зло, но при этом был реалистичным — и от этого было страшно и тревожно. Теперь вся его сложность превратилась в сверхъестественные выкрутасы, банальные и скучные. Пропала логика действий, пропали интересные герои, сюжет можно было предсказать еще до начала чтения. Худшая книга Кинга, что я читал.
