Later

King horror

It's not that much of a horror story like STEPHEN KING's other books it's not that bad but it definitely won't be a waste of money if you buy it.

A good novel written by Stephen King.Firstly, it felt like Jamie's mother Tia, a literary agent, had an ulterior motive in recovering her lost money by taking help of jamie's special gift or disease in finding a dead writer's novel and Liz, a cop, seems like helping jamie and then it turns out liz also has an ulterior motive of her own.

In life, we often think "later". Retrospective reasoning and hindsight bias comes to life in this "Sixth Sense" with dark humour.

Over time authors lose their grip and their later novels got diluted. But not for the King of Horror. He is getting better and better with every successive novel. Find out for yourself.

As good as any King. Written at a leisurely pace..

I had been rather disillusioned with Stephen King for a while, courtesy Wolves of the Calla, a bloated and rather repulsive book that even managed to wean me off The Dark Tower series. But later . . . this book happened. Later is a nutshell which includes the best of Stephen King: building up true-to-life characters from scratch - complete with their idiosyncrasies - charting their course from childhood to maturity, and of course making terrible things happen to them. A boy seeing the dead is certainly not a novelty (The Sixth Sense is referred to, albeit without a name) but the way King does it here is so refreshing. I loved the incorporation of other things from the King universe too. The Ritual of Chud almost had me rooting for a reappearance of Pennywise.

A Big let down from Stephen King. Doesn't seem to be a King's book. Absolutely juvenile stuff. Don't buy it. I am one of the biggest fan of Stephen King having read all his books. Purchased this on pre order on 2nd Nov 2020, but was totally disappointed with the story. (What story?There isn't any)

Big fan of the author and hadn't seen this one before. Really enjoyed it, just short but wish it had been longer. Great plot and characters.

Genial y a.su tiempo

Another great one from Stephen King. I adore pretty much everything he has ever written, so there's no surprise that I loved this one as well. Mr Kings greatest strength in storytelling (according to me) is his amazing ability to write believable and loveable characters, which really makes you want to get into the story. This one is very good, and I enjoyed every second.

... masterly written by The Kingster - Steven King himself. Which in MY eyes is an absolute must-read, not only for the FANS, but for all those who like a supernatural horror story, that is perfectly interwoven with the strangest coming-of-age tale some adolescent boy has to tell. And telling he does! He spills the bucket until even the most skeptical reader is hooked for sure! Jamie Conklin only wants to have a relatively quiet childhood and be a normal teenager, living with his single mother. Who is often struggling personally and financially. An uncle, too is to be looked after, struck by early inset Alzheimer's disease only in his early 40ies. That costs money. And Mum has lost her most valuable client in the finishing of the last book of a series of high success! Noone knows how that series will end - 'The Secrets of Roanoke'. The biggest mystery in the history of the US of A. But in steps Jamie. He has an 'ability' that is more that a psychic disturbance: He can see and speak to the Dead. Only to those who have left this world a short time ago and linger around their nearest and dearest. And the Dead talk back - and have to say the truth, the absolute truth. That comes in handy with Mom's best but late client and the world takes a better turn for Jamie, Mum and Uncle Harry. But there is Liz, Mum's ex-lover, who works for the New York Police Department. And Liz is bent, crooked, an alcoholic who deals coke, too. She is about to lose her job - so she uses Jamie's ability to solve an almost unsolvable task: To find the last bomb of the Thumper, to save many lives - and Liz' dwindling career. But with making Liz quasi a hero Jamie transforms his future life into a living hell: The Trumper wants his revenge - from beyond the grave and at every cost. And here the REAL horror show begins... and years have to go by, years of Jamie's tales of abnormalities, almost impossible to comprehend, of fights inside and outside - with all his might. Like a lonely teenager fighting against a gang of 'Hells Angels' - literally! LATER is really Stephen King at his absolutely best, a terrifying and yet touching story of a boy who has to grow up in great velocity. To learn fast to be able to decide what is right or wrong, to fight inner and outer demons in disguise and to stand up to evil in all the masks it wears. A great read, really worth MY time and money. Had to read through the night until the very end. I personally can only recommend this fantastic Rollercoaster ride.

I thought this was a graphic novel but I was wrong it is a novel! but I will still read it!
