Book Reviews of Bag Of Bones

Book Review: The only book good enough for me to read all the way through
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a great book, and Kings most underrated stories. It was easy to read through, but still gave just enough detail to paint a picture. The story bittersweet, one of both tragedy and triumph. The characters seemed real, vivid, and people you could actually feel for.

This is the only book in my whole life that I've actually read all the way through, which should tell you something. I'm not going to give to much of the storyline, but it is about a guy approaching middle age, and lonely because his wife died, but he does find new love in the new town he moves to. The rest is a dark but colorful and emotional roller coaster ride.

I really wish this was made into a movie, as long as it stays true to the book. If you like love, mystery, and ghost, I would suggest picking this one up.

Summary of Bag Of Bones

INCLUDES AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH STEPHEN KING

Bag of Bones recounts the plight of bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who is unable to stop grieving even four years after the sudden death of his wife. His nights are plagued by vivid nightmares of their house by the lake. Despite these dreams, or perhaps because of them, Mike finally returns to Sara Laughs, the Noonan's isolated summer home.

He finds his beloved Yankee town familiar on its surface, but much changed underneath -- held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, who seeks to take his three-year-old granddaughter away from her widowed young mother. As Mike is drawn into their struggle, as he falls in love with both of them, he is drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations, ever -- escalating nightmares, and the sudden recovery of his writing ability. What are the forces that have been unleashed here -- and what do they want of Mike Noonan?


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
