It took me several months to finish, but that is no indication of how good it is or how much I liked it. I loved seeing what happened to Danny and found this to be a sequel very much worth reading. Also loved Steve’s Author’s Note.

Ich mach's kurz: die Guten sind so gut, dass es schon seifig ist, die Bösen sind mehr klischeehafte Karikatur als ernstzunehmende Gruselverursacher, der Schluß hat einen dermaßen kitschigen Schlenker, dass mein Augenrollen meinem Gegenüber in der U-Bahn wohl etwas unangenehm auffiel, und insgesamt möcht ich dem King eine runterhauen, dass er einem seiner Meisterwerke so eine unnötige Fortsetzung verpasst hat. Kann man zwar lesen, man sollte imho aber weder Putenpickel noch sonstige Nebenwirkungen wirklich gruseliger Lektüre (wie The Shining z.B.) erwarten.

Ich nehm jetzt erst mal 'ne Runde übel.

It's a bit of a slow start, much like The Shining, but once it gets going, the train never stops! Brilliant work by King at reviving old characters and meshing them with new.
