Muy entretenido. El plot twist no lo ví venir.
Tiene un par de líneas que me gustaron mucho, entre ellas "el mal sólo puede entrar si lo invitas".

I'm at the point where I can't read through a King novel and not think about how it will translate to a film! Later is a nice coming of age story of a boy Jaime, who has the ability to see dead people but only shortly after they die and until it's time for them to go where ever they go. Jaime keeps reminding the reader that it's a horror story and the element of not knowing what will happen with a ghost (or demon) that he made a pact keeps it horrific but the story falls short since we really don't know what else could/would happen. Some parts were predictable but the story is written in classic Stephen King style.
