Narrative Concering Books Bag of Bones
Four years after the sudden death of his wife, forty-year-old bestselling novelist Mike Noonan is still grieving. Unable to write, and plagued by vivid nightmares set at the western Maine summerhouse he calls Sara Laughs, Mike reluctantly returns to the lakeside getaway. There, he finds his beloved Yankee town held in the grip of a powerful millionaire, Max Devore, whose vindictive purpose is to take his three-year-old granddaughter, Kyra, away from her widowed young mother, Mattie. As Mike is drawn into Mattie and Kyra's 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 and escalating terrors. What are the forces that have been unleashed here—and what do they want of Mike Noonan?It is no secret that King is one of our most mesmerizing storytellers. In Bag of Bones, he proves to be one of our most moving as well.

Haunted read! a bit long but the storyline was scary good and very intense (paperback!)This is King's strongest novel of the new millennium. In fact, it's excellent. Good enough to join THE SHINING, SALEM'S LOT, and CHRISTINE as some of King's best work ever. Everything works to King-like perfection in BAG OF BONES. Pacing, character, story, plot flow, and horror are all masterfully handled by the master himself. It isn't overly long and the editing is perfect. Highly recommended
I cheated in my Stephen King chronological reread series. Desperation was up next, but... I really dislike that book, okay? I wanted to get to a King novel I love before the years end, so here we are.This was my third reread of Bag of Bones; this time it hit me deeper than ever before. Now that Im familiar with Kongs entire oeuvre, connections big and small (Thad Beaumont gets a shoutout, theres a scene with Ralph Roberts and Norris Ridgewick, names like Polly Chalmers and Bannerman are
Had you asked me a month ago what I thought of Bag of Bones I might have chuckled and shook my head. I might have told you it is one of the worst Stephen King books there is, that it is easily in my bottom five King reads, down there with such piles of Kingly excrement as Dreamcatcher, Wizard and Glass, The Eyes of the Dragon, and From a Buick 8, the latter being the pinnacle of Uncle Stevie's fecal production. In other words, friends and neighbors, I hated this book.But that was then and this
Easily my favorite Stephen King novel ever, and I've read a wide cross section of different eras of his stuff. This is a ghost story...it's about being haunted, both by spirits and by memories. It's a book about loss and grief, but also a suspenseful mystery with a super spooky atmosphere, set in a creepy, unincorporated and sparesely populated fading resort community with a dark historic past. The mystery and the hauntings are linked in with a child custody battle, complete with a nefarious old
I love to read stories but what I love even more is to be told a story. The first person narrative conveyed such genuine heartfelt emotions I felt like I was sitting in a candlelit room on a plush velvet settee sipping a warm brandy as Mr. King poured his heart out to me. From the very beginning the narrative evokes a hypnotic foreboding mood of grief, loss, and helplessness. Bag of Bones is many things; it's a chilling ghost story, an intricate thriller, a mystery, and a romance. Mike Noonan is
