A review by closteroven
Bag of Bones by Stephen King

5.0

(9/10)- Nothing like a good Stephen King book to pull me out of a reading slump. There may have been a few bumps, but I really liked this. I liked the characters and the internal struggles they were dealing with. I found the portrayal of grief as realistic as possible to my understanding (I can’t necessarily relate to it but I think this book did it better than many). I really liked the father/daughter dynamics, they were adorable. The plot was interesting, if a bit slow (but it’s always a bit slow for me, that isn’t really a bad thing). Some of the elements of the story didn’t come together super duper smoothly, but it still worked. I especially enjoyed the ending, which explained everything that happened and what’s going to happen in a realistic setting without seeming to go into it too much. It still left me with some questions, and it left me hoping for a (very) belated sequel, which isn’t likely but it could be possible. Overall this was a great book. It was recommended to me over two years ago, before I’d even started reading King, and I’ve finally gotten around to it and found it really good. I’m glad I read it.
