#725 in our old book database. Not rated. ( ) A fine book to keep you company for a couple of hours. You won't find any real horror in this book, although it definitely has a few thrilling moments, which is fine by me. It's my first reading of King, so I don't have any preconceived notion of his work. "Dolores Claiborne" is easy to read, and I really like the way it was written as the statement Dolores gave to the police. For the first forty pages or so, it was a little rough and slow to get the ball rolling. However, that aside, the pace of the story, building of characters and the flow of events was implemented to great effect. It exponentially gets better and by the end titbits are revealed here and there that make you more invested. It's not an extraordinary book, but it is not a bad one either. It's just a really solid one. If you are out to read the works of Stephen King, I don't see why you should pass this up. In 1995, it was adapted for the silver screen, and I would definitely recommend that you stay clear of that. It kind of makes Dolores a sidekick, making Selena more of a main character. It removes characters, ruins the pacing, and much more... A real shame because in its original form, the book would've made an excellent film. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
