Flutter In Upper Right



Warning: The long-awaited final episode!

Bag of Bones (Bag of Bones, 1998)
It's not bad, Bag of Bones. It 's a story that starts from ideas
autobiographical (typical King), well constructed with characters
and a compelling storyline. When I read this book, I think, I was on the line
right, in fact I have enjoyed a good memory and Serbian.
There is a "but." King was too lenient with himself, in some parts
is really unnecessarily verbose. If you try to compare with the first Bone Pile
Bachman books you note even more.


The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, 1999)
I loved it. According to King
this was considered an extra, a celebration, if I remember correctly, for a certain number of years of
activities.
I saw it as a short story stretched beyond belief because
become a novel.
Whether it's a subjective assessment is clear, I remember I read on the Internet
some comments that were actually positive.


Storm of the Century (Storm of the Century, 1999)
King wrote the screenplay for this TV movie, as he will still
later to Rose Red, but then he has published as a novel
, with a minimum adaptation, or perhaps zero. I first read the paper version
, finding it almost unreadable,
then I saw the movie and I thought it was more or less nice (not very nice,
anyway) but also understandable.


Dreamcatcher (Dreamcatcher, 2001)
Mamma Mia!
Dreamcatcher is a 2003 film by Lawrence Kasdan, with at least one
great actor, Morgan Freeman. The film, despite being a big-budget production to
, has moments of B-movie, or maybe Z-movie, but
are unintentional humor, like the bloody fart
caused the epidemic of alien origin. The book, however, this time, it is also
worse long-winded, predictable and at times even difficult to
follow, the lower the level of attention .
At this point I'm really concerned about the good Steve!
We would have done to recover?
Fortunately, yes, because next to some of the best evidence is not
there were three excellent, concluding volume of the saga
Black Tower, and then Colorado Kid, and even Lisey's Story.


Colorado Kid (The Colorado Kid, 2005)
An unpretentious little book, with a short story but inspired. Unlike
The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, I think, however
justified the publication of this novel form of
history, for its brevity, it would also be potutto
a simple tale, contained in some collection. Neither
upsets me that there is no end, since the story has its own coherence and its
why. In part this is an experiment, too, since
the atmosphere is more that of a detective story than a thriller, then
is a new field for us.


Lisey's story (Lisey's Story, 2006)
For this, I have already spoken, I refer to the relevant message .
concludes the deal work by work, hoping not to have
bored. Thanks for the comments made and any others if you will.

begin to move towards the end, if we remove the books that I have already spoken.

The Green Mile (The Green Mile, 1996)
still a little experiment although it is not at all a new thing.
King proposes a serial thriller this time, or simply a
serial novel. The same King explains that the narrative "serial"
was typical of a certain popular narrative of the past. The most famous is
Dickens. Not that he wants to confront these
great writers simply want to try to find a formula
editorial "new" than at the time. The publication in volumes
can, in a sense, and there will be
of followers like John Saul's Blackstone Mysteries with. But the thrust
not end soon, perhaps because it is not King Saul . Soon after,
however, reach the serial novels, full-bodied and large format
as Ramses, Cortes, Napoleon, Magus (Nostradamus), etc..
The beauty of the novel is certainly related to its particular
editorial formula. Each volume has its beginning and end, with appropriate
twists, and the small size of each episode
mean that the story is read in one gulp. The effect was greater at the time of publication
, since after reading an episode
to wait two weeks to read the following (instead
today's edition is usually available in a single volume, with
all six episodes). But The Green Mile is not only that, I think that we
is an outstanding complaint against the death penalty
. It 's a drama and poetry where the magic
helps to stand out in some important respects, our reality
all day, I refer this to the situation where the hospice
is the narrator, Paul Edgecombe.
Edgecombe, Eduard Delacroix, William Wharton, but especially
John Coffey, and why not, Mr. Jingles, are characters who remain
printed indelibly in the memory. Thank you, Stephen King .
The Green Mile is a film by Frank Darabont, starring Tom Hanks,
very nice ... but not up to the book, in my opinion.
lasts three hours, so in some promising way, with regard to "fidelity"
the novel, but the story structure is altered,
losing a bit of bite, and then there's some sort of attempt to move
viewers, emphasizing certain aspects of "emotional", while
things in the book are narrated with style
drier but more effective. This is, however, as I said, a good movie.
