Bag of bones

Lyssnade på Stephen King som läste sin egen bok Bag of bones. Efter boken så blir Stephen King intervjuad om boken och hur han ser på ljudböcker. Intressant!

Boken handlar om Mike Noonan vars fru oväntat och plötsligt dör. Han sörjer och kan inte längre skriva böcker. Efter flera år så beger han sig till sommarhuset och hoppas kunna skriva där. Den lilla staden är inte riktigt sig lik och han blir inblandad i konflikten mellan en ung mamma och en mäktig miljonär. Saker händer och han ser saker som inte kan förklaras samtidigt som han har mardrömmar.

Spännande och gripande, det som störde lite var att det var inlagt lite musik och ljud ibland i inläsningen. Jag föredrar utan ljud och musik som jag tror kommer från någon annan innan jag fattar att det är boken.

"Stephen King's most gripping and unforgettable novel, Bag of Bones, is a story of grief and lost love's enduring bonds, of a new love haunted by the secrets of the past, of an innocent child caught in a terrible crossfire.

Set in the Maine territory King has made mythic, Bag of Bones recounts the plight of forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan, who is unable to stop grieving even four years after the sudden death of his wife, Jo, and who can no longer hear to face the blank screen of his word processor.

Now his nights are plagued by vivid nightmares of the house by the lake. Despite these dreams, or perhaps because of them, Mike finally returns to Sara Laughs, the Noonan's isolated summer home.

He finds his beloved Yankee town familiar on its surface, but much changed underneath -- held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, Max Devore, who twists the very fabric of the community to his purpose: to take his three-year-old granddaughter away from her widowed young mother. As Mike is drawn into their 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, ever-escalating nightmares, and the sudden recovery of his writing ability. What are the forces that have been unleashed here -- and what do they want of Mike Noonan?

As vivid and enthralling as King's most enduring works, Bag of Bones resonates with what Amy Tan calls "the witty and obsessive voice of King's powerful imagination." It's no secret that King is our most mesmerizing storyteller. In Bag of Bones -- described by Gloria Naylor as "a love story about the dark places within us all" -- he proves to be one of our most moving."
