walokat2 's review for:
Bag of Bones
by Stephen King
It took me more than 10 chapters and maybe 150 pages to actually start to like this book. The beginning was SO SLOW and, honestly, boring. Sure, it gave tidbits of foreshadowing every so often, but was nothing to keep me interested at all. I read this for book club and so kept trudging through.
I will say that around chapter 11 or so it got me and I was hooked til the end. I just HAD to find out the answers and the past and how everything happened. It was horribly suspenseful, not my usual cup of tea, but kept me ion the edge of my seat.
But really, couldn’t it have just started with chapter 10 or 11 and went from there? Why all the boring lead-up? If it had been shortened, I would have given a 4, but it’s standing at a solid 2 for me because of the beginning and the pain it took me to get through it.
