Rezension von CarinaSehr spannend
Rezension von Eileen Dierner Mein erster Stephen King - Roman! Er war ohne Zweifel gut, spannend mit einem Schreibstil, den ich noch nie zuvor gelesen habe. Leider nicht gruselig, dabei wollte ich mich doch schön fürchten! :D
Rezension von Celil6/10
Rezension von Kinga HernikHate This Book. First of all I hate it when a book has few and long chapters and this book had literally two. Because of this the book felt all over the place and I was often confused. After one scene or incident they just moved on to the next without introducing the premise or anything. The only thing that separated them were some scientific articles. The idea for the story was great but it unfortunately fell flat. I was often bored and was waiting for something to happen. And the big night was also underwhelming. Also many weird descriptions of teenage nipples that had a weird aftertaste and also r*pe. So overall hated it.
Rezension von Sophie 🤎🧸Ein absolutes Jahreshighlight. Das war mein erstes Stephen King Buch und ich bin sooo beeindruckt. Mal ein ganz anderer Schreibstil, im Gegensatz zu dem was ich kenne. Der Schreibstil ist viel genauer, wodurch man sich auch alles viel genauer vorstellen kann. Es ist zwar etwas brutal aber ich denke, dass trotzdem jeder das Buch lesen sollte!!! Um es zu beschreiben: es hat sich angefühlt wie in einem Fiebertraum zu sein.
