Another brilliantly writing story with the characters of Bill and Holly and Jerome returning to help with another victim of the Mercedes killer (from book I in the trilogy). Now it is just the small wait for the third in the trilogy to be released on the 7th of July. (  ) BluezReader | Nov 12, 2023 | geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
PrijzenOnderscheidingen
"A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far--a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes" --
""Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after thirty-five years" -- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Finders Keepers
1
Stephen King pays homage to himself as he pairs elements from Misery and Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption with one of his stock heroes -- an intelligent teen boy who likes to read and aspires to write -- in a satisfying little thriller about a famous author ratholing unpublished manuscripts (see also, Bag of Bones) and the lengths a fan will go to to read them.
Ostensibly, this is the middle book of the Bill Hodges trilogy, but Bill and his colleagues, Holly Gibney and Jerome Robinson, don't really show up until page 157 and barely impact the rest of the story at all. Truly, they could be scraped out of the tale with very little editing, which causes me to entertain a theory that King might have inserted them into an existing (ratholed) or in-progress manuscript when his publisher asked for a quick sequel to Mr. Mercedes. Regardless, this book is obviously biding time until Hodges can have a final confrontation with his true nemesis.
Still, it's hard to dislike Stephen King when he's in the groove, and this book zips right along. (
