Explanation Concering Books Bag of Bones
Four years after the sudden death of his wife, forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan is still grieving. Unable to write, and plagued by vivid nightmares set at the western Maine summerhouse he calls Sara Laughs, Mike reluctantly returns to the lakeside getaway. There, he finds his beloved Yankee town held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, Max Devore, whose vindictive purpose is to take his three-year-old granddaughter, Kyra, away from her widowed young mother, Mattie. As Mike is drawn into Mattie and Kyra's struggle, as he falls in love with both of them, he is also drawn into the mystery of Sara Laughs, now the site of ghostly visitations and escalating terrors. What are the forces that have been unleashed here—and what do they want of Mike Noonan? It is no secret that King is one of our most mesmerizing storytellers. In Bag of Bones, he proves to be one of our most moving as well. (back cover)

I was a big Stephen King fan back in the 7th grade, mainly because it was my first experience with books written for adults. After a while though, I stared reading other more obscure novels and I stopped reading King's works. Bag of Bones really caught my interest though, and I found it to be much better than many of his other books because of the way it deals so much with plain human emotion, loss and life. Like his novel Pet Sematary, Bag of Bones has a main theme of overwhelming grief, as theI love to read stories but what I love even more is to be told a story. The first person narrative conveyed such genuine heartfelt emotions I felt like I was sitting in a candlelit room on a plush velvet settee sipping a warm brandy as Mr. King poured his heart out to me. From the very beginning the narrative evokes a hypnotic foreboding mood of grief, loss, and helplessness. Bag of Bones is many things; it's a chilling ghost story, an intricate thriller, a mystery, and a romance. Mike Noonan is
Haunted read! a bit long but the storyline was scary good and very intense (paperback!)
I cheated in my Stephen King chronological reread series. Desperation was up next, but... I really dislike that book, okay? I wanted to get to a King novel I love before the years end, so here we are.This was my third reread of Bag of Bones; this time it hit me deeper than ever before. Now that Im familiar with Kongs entire oeuvre, connections big and small (Thad Beaumont gets a shoutout, theres a scene with Ralph Roberts and Norris Ridgewick, names like Polly Chalmers and Bannerman are
I am a Stephen King junkie. I started reading him in high school and quickly tore through just about everything he'd ever written, and then started buying every new book he put out. Being a Stephen King fan is kind of like being a geek for Dragonlance or comic books - reviewing his work seems borderline pointless because non-fans will usually dismiss him out of hand and be hard to convince of any intrinsic value, and fans are already pretty hardcore about him. Nevertheless, I wanted to add this
736 pages, so not King's longest book but still a doorstop. I enjoyed it very much anyway and it was certainly a page turner. This is one of his ghostly, horror type stories and at times it was very spooky and frequently very gory. In fact very Stephen King. Not the best book I have read by him but still very worthy of 4 stars.
Reading this book is the first novel you have the absolute proof where you can confidently say, Stephen King is now a typical middle aged author. Because he uses the plot device they all use. Love between older man and young woman. And every aspect of it is such a silly middle aged fantasy that is almost pathetic to read. The character in the book is a stand-in for King at that moment in his life. He is above 40, rich for writing popular novels, which so far is nothing new for Kings characters,
