Several years after his wife's death, novelist Mike Noonan still suffers writer's block. A dream inspires him to return to the couple's summer retreat in western Maine, a lakeside house called Sara Laughs. Shortly after arriving, Noonan is caught in the middle of a custody battle involving the daughter of an attractive young widow and the child's enormously wealthy grandfather. He also discovers that Sara Laughs is haunted and that his late wife, Joanna, still has something to tell him. ([source][1])

Bag of bones / Saco de huesos

3 stars

Una vez más King nos trae persecuciones. Tengo una debilidad por sus persecuciones.

Escritor viudo intenta retomar la escritura en un encerrón caluroso en una casa del lago donde vuelve a encontrar un segundo aire en el amor sólo para caer estrepitosamente. Los pecados de los padres los pagan los hijos y aquí no se es la excepción.

Como bonus, aquí conocí el adjetivo ESTENTÓREO. Jamás me cansaré de usarlo. No me parece a mejor obra de King y ciertamente la adaptación fílmica con Pierce Brosnan tampoco tiene demasiado lustre pero así como hay películas palomeras de Domingo por la tarde, hay libros que sirven para también, matar el tiempo.

A lo mejor también te topas con un saco de huesos con voz estentórea.

Review of 'Bag of Bones' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Meh. King tried to juggle a lot in this one, and I feel like a more simplified storyline with fewer characters would've made it creepier. It's the story of an author who develops writer's block in the wake of his wife's unexpected death, and who rediscovers his ability to write only when he returns to their vacation home. However, the vacation home seems haunted - messages appear on the fridge using alphabet magnets, strange noises come from the basement. Add to this a three-year-old child who is at the center of beyond-bitter custody case and a town legacy that's so ugly it continues to ripple through current generations in unexpected ways. There's a lot going on, and - for the first time with a King novel - I found myself impatient for it to end. I'm still a fan - I'd just recommend going with one of his other books.
