What I thought would be a quick story, turned out to be a full grown complex novel with fully detailed characters.
In the beginning I felt torn between thinking: “Why is this boy harassing this old guy?” and “What's wrong with that old guy?”.
In the middle I could understand more of the relationship between those too, but I still don't get the changing of the characters. Not 100%.
Why did they go on and done what they've done? This plus some boring chapters and the fact that I thought this book would never end and dragged along endlessly, gives it 3/5 for me.
Es una novela corta oscura, inquietante y extraña, pero bastante acertada.
Es una de esas historias que es totalmente horrible porque realmente podes ver este tipo de escenario sucediendo en la vida real.
He leído varias libros de Stephen King, y sin dudas, de momento, este fue el que más turbio me ha parecido. No sólo de los 4 relatos que componen “Las cuatro estaciones”, sino en general.
