Best King book I've read in a long time. Written in his old conversational style. Fast-paced, kinda gross, just perfect!!

Leider sehr schwache Hauptfiguren, über die man nichts weiß. Durch die Ich-Perspektive wirkt es außerdem wie ein Jugendroman, einige Sätze sind seltsam (zu modern und jugendsprachlich) und es scheint keine rechte Handlung zu entstehen. Die besten Figuren sterben direkt.

Later by Stephen King is about a boy who can see dead people. And honestly, that’s about it. But, when I tell you that once I picked it up I could not put it down.

Although it is on the shorter side, I was entranced the whole way through. In comparison to his other books, I really like the usage of past tense, of someone writing down the story.

I do have to admit that I listen to this one on audio… but only because Seth Numrich is one of my favorite narrators!

I like it a lot. It was something really DIFFERENT from what I expected but still hitted right.
