3.0

Es más bien un 3.5
Me gustó mucho más conocer sobre el pasado de Blaze que la trama del presente, pero de igual manera fue bastante entretenida la historia.
Es genial empezar el año leyendo un King, así que lo tomo como buen augurio.
Also, me encantó la historia que corta que le agregan al final del libro llamada "Memoria" que según es el previo a lo que se convirtió en Duma Key, libro que aún no he tenido la suerte de leer pero que con este vistazo me dan muchas ganas de hacerlo pronto.

Stephen King - or should we say Richard Bachman - is channeling Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men here. Blaze is a bad guy, but also a sympathetic figure. Overall, perhaps the best of the Bachman books, though it feels different than the 70s-80s Bachman books.
