The Tommyknockers by Stephen King

roxysho's review against another edition

5.0

Estoy entre 4 o 5 estrellas.
Siento que es una excelente historia. No sé porque a la gente no le gusta!

Es tan profunda! Mí parte favorita es la parte 2, me hubiera gustado que profundice un poco más en esas preguntas que quedan sin responder.

Algo que hace este libro tan perfecto son las referencias, hasta ahora es el libro de King que más referencias vi (y que Carlos me hizo dar cuenta un par que pase desapercibida) y uff mí corazón se hizo más grande y feliz por esas menciones a lugares, cosas o sentimientos.

Recuerden: no tiren sus baterías viejas, si tienen algo de metal en su cabeza y empiezan a sintonizar una radio CORRAN y si tropiezan con algo en el bosque, dejenlo ahí...

I read this book a long time ago, and I HATED it. In any discussion of King’s work, which I largely enjoy, I would talk about how much I hated it. When I started a chronological re-read of his writing, I had initially decided to skip this. However, I ultimately decided it had been so long, I’d grown older, etc., and I gave it a shot. I no longer hate it, but it has a lot of issues and I would definitely rank it at/near the bottom. There’s definitely a good core story in there, but it’s too bloated with extraneous and dumb stuff to really stick with me.

There are some really memorable characters in this novel . Anne Anderson is in the book so briefly, but the writing is so wonderful you really get to develop strong feelings for her character right away. Peter, a dog, written so lovingly you’ll want up pet him. And Gard’s addiction is written so honestly is haunting. The book did have a lot of seemingly unneeded chapters, but overall the characters were well written and well developed.
