Una de las pocas historias de King que creo tiene la cantidad justa de páginas. No es un secreto para nadie que a King le gusta escribir más de la cuenta, sin embargo creo que en este libro escribió lo justo y necesario.

La trama me gustó porque cuando empezaba a pensar que la historia iba por un lado me daba cuenta que se iba por el otro, en parte es debido a que no tenía planeado leer este libro, por tanto no leí sinopsis ni nada. No es que sea una historia particularmente innovadora, pero por lo menos sabe mantenerte enganchado. 

Su final... es un gran wtf. No digo que sea bueno o malo, la verdad no me importa qué es lo que pasa en el, simplemente pienso que no aporta nada. Supongo que como el libro tiene un poco de coming-of-age entre medio del horror, se puede ver como el cierre del ciclo de la niñez del Jamie, pero incluso si es así, pudo ser mejor.
