Bag of Bones by Stephen King
4.0
My First Stephen King book. What can I say about this book to give it justice?
King is quite a brilliant writer and submerges you in his mystifying story telling. When I first picked up a copy of Bag of Bones to be honest, I braced myself. I knew King was legendary for his dark, mysterious, frightening tales. However this book did not seem as obviously creepy as other stories I've heard about. It was very subtle and with it mixed in with the story of a widow writer really was an amazing combination. I definitely recommend this book. However if you plan on watching the mini series Bag of Bones, don't. It's terrible and butchers all the things that make this book great.
