I like Stephen King's style of writing and I found the characters realistic, as well as the story line. If you like a good ghost story, this book is for you. Spooky without being frightening. (  )angee240 | Jun 7, 2009 |   One of my favorite Stephen King books. I find something new every time I read it. Great character development, plotline, and fantastic imagery. You really feel like you are in the story. Highly recommend! (  )Lisa112 | Feb 24, 2009 | I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by BAG OF BONES. Other than his book ON WRITING, I gave up on King years ago. Around IT I started finding his style tedious, and I was sort of burnt out on horror. But I'm going through this phase where I'm trying to read everything in my house and my parents' house before I buy anymore books, and so I ended up grabbing this from my mom on a whim.WOW. I literally stayed up all night two nights in a row to finish this baby. I couldn't put it down. It was sweet, touching, scary, heart-pounding, romantic. I fell in love with the characters, I was creeped out by the ghost plot and the eerie town. It made me cry more than once, and perch on the edge of my seat in suspense just as often. I love this book, and plan to add it to my own keeper collection. Off the beaten path of King's other horror, but has a lot more to offer, as well. ( )hafowler | Feb 18, 2009 | 1  Good ghost story. (  )KarriesKorner | Feb 18, 2009 | Once again, King manages to tell a tale filled with strong characters, imaginative backgrounds, and bring horror to the most mundane of circumstances.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audio Review (ISBN 067102423X, Mass Market Paperback)No longer content to be the prolific provider of text, King grabs the audio reigns to recount this haunted tale of grief, young love, and otherworldly visits. When 40-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan returns to his lakeside cabin to process his wife's death, he finds the place a beacon for nightmares and ghoulish visits. But there's hope in Kingsville, as this struggling writer falls in love with a young widow named Mattie and her 3-year-old psychic daughter, Kyra. If you've never heard King speak, be warned: 19-plus hours of his western Maine, nasal-drenched tones may be more than some listeners can bear. But there's a certain warmth and believability to King's voice--after all, it's his book and he is a middle-aged bestselling novelist--that jive well with Noonan's character. And since King rarely reads his own work, perhaps his doing so indicates that he's especially pleased with Bag of Bones; most listeners should be as well. (Running time: 19.5 hours, 14 cassettes) --Rob McDonald(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:19 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
