Me encantó Quien pierde paga, la segunda entrega de la trilogía de Bill Hodges. Como todos los libros que leí de King (que son pocos, por cierto) tiene un ritmo EXCELENTE y me gusta mucho que Bill y Holly no son centrales en esta historia. Por otro lado, también celebro que en el corazón de esta historia está la literatura, la pasión por los libros, llevada hasta el extremo. 
Debo advertir, sin embargo, que me pareció SÚPER violenta por momentos y aunque para mí eso no es un problema, entiendo que puede serlo para otros. Ojo, nunca gratuitamente, pero sí es una novela violenta. 
Ya quiero meterme en la tercera entrega!

5.0

Another completely gripping book. There's an unusual timeline to this, the set up is half of the book and the characters from the last book only show up at the end, but it does make for interesting reading. Like the last book you know 'whodunnit' right from the start, and can pretty much see what's going to happen, but finding out how it all plays out is the fun part.

The character of Morris is also brilliantly done, he is of course an awful person, but you still feel for him at times (waiting 36 years to be able to finish your favourite book series...ouch). 

The ending also leads up really nicely to the third book, which I have of course went straight into.
