Bag of Bones by Stephen King

I'm in a book coma. I think this one is going to stick with me for a long time. It might take me awhile to get into one of Mr. King's books, but once I'm in, I'm hooked. Bag of Bones is a must read if you're a fan- and even if you're not. Great story. So glad I pushed through the first 50 pages.

This book is full of hard topics. They’re fresh on the mind because they thicken toward the end.

I do love ghost stories, and this book lies mostly there. Material dangers haunt the characters, but the ghosts become far more powerful and dangerous.

Flaws include a bit of exposition, and a flat struggle near the first half. Overall I enjoyed it.

This is my favorite book of all time. It's the perfect combination of action, love (without mushy romance), spooky, intrigue... I just love it.
