Publisher's Summary

The number one best seller: King at the peak of his powers - at once a first-rate suspense novel, a legal thriller, a haunted house story and a love story.

When Mike Noonan's wife dies unexpectedly, the best-selling author suffers from writer's block. Until he is drawn to his summer home, the beautiful lakeside retreat called Sara Laughs.

Here Mike finds the once familiar town in the tyrannical grip of millionaire Max Devore. Devore is hell-bent on getting custody of his deceased son's daughter and is twisting the fabric of the community to this purpose.

Three year old Kyra and her young mother turn to Mike for help. And Mike finds them increasingly irresistible.

But there are other more sinister forces at Sara Laughs - and Kyra can feel them too....

Great book

One of my favourite books by Stephen King that I have read countless times but to listen to it being read by the author himself added an extra dimension to the story.

Hmm - not convinced.

What did you like most about Bag of Bones?

I liked the idea behind the story - about the wife finding out about something and trying to keep her husband safe, and then dying and him thinking she'd been cheating but she wasn't...

Would you recommend Bag of Bones to your friends? Why or why not?

No. It's too long winded. I also didn't feel the ending was right.
And definitely not the audio book - omg Stephen King's voice can rival nails down a blackboard

Would you be willing to try another one of Stephen King’s performances?

Nope. While I can see mega benefits of having the author reading his (or her) own novels, I just can't listen to Stephen King's voice.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

There were a few times I laughed and cried. But I'm not going to say when, as that would give away spoilers

Any additional comments?

If you don't mind Stephen King's voice then you might be happy to listen to this audio book.

True horror

Stephen King does horror best when he exposes the true horror of human behaviour and Bag of Bones has this in spades. He builds the sense of the ordinary with his usual masterful skill and then hits us with a rapid fire dose of his best, most confronting horror in which humanity and the supernatural are blended to terrify us. I love this book as it showcases King’s skill in building depth of character and his ability to take the reader completely away from their life into the book. Just amazing. Yes, the music is a bit annoying but not enough to ruin the audiobook experience.

All over the Place

The book is all over the place with over describing of everything. Got halfway through before calling it a Day on this book. 1st Stephen King book I haven't loved.
