yanloureiroc's review against another edition

3.0

Esse livro me pareceu mais um conto do que qualquer outra coisa.

A premissa toda É legal e me chamou atenção, mas ao mesmo tempo eu fiquei querendo mais conteúdo. Senti falta da história ir pra algum lugar realmente relevante.

Quando tudo começou a tomar um rumo interessante e os dramas estavam ficando reais, o livro acabou. A sensação final foi de ser o primeiro livro de uma série que eu queria que tivesse apenas um volume.

Interesting read. A little predictable, but well written.
Not what I expected from a Stephen King novel.

It was a lighter King, to be sure. A young boy discovers that he can see dead people. It's not gory, or too supernatural. Good read, but not the King I normally love.

In this book, we watch what happens to James (a young boy), who has the power to "see dead people" a la The Sixth Sense. He can interact with them, and ask them questions, which can be good (where did a loved one leave those earrings?), or bad (when he interacts with bad guys).

There are three of times when the... skill(?) is used to bad ends, and we watch what happens as a consequence. There are times when horror is a consequence (in dealing with a bad guy), which some might dislike, but as a rule, it's your standard crime book, it's just James is being used as a crime fighting tool, rather than forensics, or interviewing suspects.

It's a decent read, not Nobel Prize standard, but diverting for a few hours, if you like crime stories.
