Stephen King is a mastermind of weaving horrific and terrifying stories giving us the most infamous titles in the modern day media. Stephen King may be a master and talented writer, but I just have a hard time reading through his works consistantly. His novels are tremedously long and lack a good pace. For me, his ideas for novels are breathtaking, but his actual writting takes patience and time I don't really have to read. Add a slow-paced writing with a disapointing plot and you have Bag of Bones. I love Stephen King, I really do, and I hate to say anything bad about him, but Bag of Bones was such a disappointment to me. And afterwards, I watched the A&E's take on the novel and it was just so awful. Unless you are a very patient and have a curious mid that takes you far into the pages of a boring novel, I don't recommend this book to anyone unless you are a true fan of King's work.
