El único libro de Stephen King que NO recomiendo comprar, en mi blog explico por qué: Click aquí

Blockade Billy is a little book that contains two short (and really crappy) stories by King. Where do I start with this book? both stories were really lame in my opinion but in short, don't buy this because both stories will be included in the upcoming collection [b:The Bazaar of Bad Dreams|23512999|The Bazaar of Bad Dreams|Stephen King|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1432324418s/23512999.jpg|43116154].
The only reason I would recommend buying this book is if you are a collector, otherwise AVOID IT.

I'll write a review of both short stories when [b:The Bazaar of Bad Dreams|23512999|The Bazaar of Bad Dreams|Stephen King|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1432324418s/23512999.jpg|43116154] is published.

As a baseball fan I really enjoyed this book quite a lot. I'm not sure someone who is not a game of the sport would find it very interesting, but it is very short and it is very Stephen King.

Blockade Billy: 4 stars (would’ve enjoyed it more probably if I was a baseball fanatic)

Morality: 2.5? The premise was nice, failed to entertain though.

King y baseball son una buena combinación. King narra muy bien la parte deportiva, los personajes son típicos de sus novelas, y el final tiene ese giro de horror propio del maestro. El único pero es que es un libro corto.

A fun little horror novella which doesn't get horrific until the end. You have to have at least a passing interest in baseball to enjoy this book. It's all about baseball players who love playing and talking about baseball. I'm not a big baseball fan, but I like going to games and I like this history of it. Pretty good.

Mr King I really hope you know how to 'show, don't tell' now, because that was the most boring experience ever.

Meh, he has done better.

2.5

Cool little novella from Stephen King that was a quick read. Has a different feel than a usual outing from King. It's written like a guy telling a story to King reminiscing at the old folk's home. Good stuff.
