I love Stephen King. But the subject matter of this one was hard to stomach even as an avid reader of his works. PLEASE check the trigger warnings before attempting.

matxoni's review against another edition

dark tense medium-paced

4.0

potser ben mirat seria més aviat un 3,5 si he de valorar l'història en net però m'ha sorprès tant que no puc posar-li menys que això. buscava un llibre que em fes passar por i n'he passat, però el que més m'ha impressionat és el relat que fa d'aquesta por; la forma en què t'acompanya l'angoixa, la tensió i la desesperació pero també l'alleujament i la tranquil·litat final. tot això comptant que l'argument durant bona part de la novel·la es basa en el fet que la protagonista es troba lligada a un llit. aquest senyor sap el que fa.
