This gets better overtime and just the crime fiction aspect alone is what I love. Overall this was enjoyable.

Solid Stephen King.  A bit weird and a bit unexplained, but things really do seem to fall into place by the end.  Great violence, cool supernatural-ness, and the author taking responsibility for the horrors he writes…pretty spot on if you ask me!

Update after reread: 

Alright, I had a feeling I didn't give this book a fair chance, so I started it right away after finishing it for the first time. I've read it more carefully, actually liked it more, and upped my rating. This time around, I could grasp the division of writer's mind much better and found it interesting.

Really great story that makes you think uncomfortable thoughts about the nature of your own psyche. I loved it!

Well τα αστεράκια δεν είναι accurate και το συνειδητοποιώ για άλλη μια φορά...Δεν θέλω να βάλω 4 αλλά ούτε και 3 .είμαι κάπου in between. Επειδή όμως μιλάω για Stephen King που τι να κάνουμε τον αγαπώ, έχω συμβιβαστεί με το γεγονός, απλά δεν γινόταν να βάλω 3. Ένα μικρό παράπονο- συνειδητοποίηση ήταν αυτή η εισαγωγή.
To the book now...με παίδεψε για να το νιώσω και "να μπω στο βιβλίο" στην αρχή αλλά κάπου πριν τη μέση it really got me οπότε από εκεί και πέρα δεν υπήρχε γυρισμός. Δεν μπορούσα να ξεκολλήσω. Γενικό συμπέρασμα πολύ όμορφο βιβλίο που αξίζει να διαβαστεί. Δεν ήταν λίγες οι φορές που ανατρίχιασα ολόκληρη και ήμουν σε μια κατάσταση creepy και θέλω να κλάψω, which is good.
