Atlanta Journal & Constitution It may be that after thirty-one
novels, Stephen King is just getting started....Bag of Bones may be
Stephen King's most ambitious novel ...the effort has inspired a
new directness and maturity in his work....Very few writers can
convey the passive terrors of nightmares better than King, and he
crafts one amazing dream sequence after another.
Entertainment Weekly Bag of Bones is, hands down, King's most
narratively subversive fiction. Whenever you're positive -- just
positive! -- you know where this ghost story is heading, that's
exactly when it gallops off in some jaw-dropping new direction.
Mademoiselle This is King at his clever, terrifying best.
Minneapolis Star Tribune King has honed his talent into a unique
American voice, broader and more ambitious than most of his
peers....[Bag of Bones] has depth....It's a ghost story, a love
story, a story about race and power...One more thing: Yes, it's
scary. Of course it's scary.
Newsweek Contains some of [King's] best writing...This is King's
most romantic book, and ghosts are up and about from the
get-go....The big surprise here is the emotional wallop the story
packs.
People magazine Bag of Bones proves that King is as seductive a
storyteller as ever, pulling readers along as he explores the
hidden evils of small-town America.
San Diego Union Tribune For those of you who think that Stephen
King writes only horror fiction, think again....In Bag Of Bones,
King offers readers a rare blend of luminous prose,
thought-provoking themes and masterful storytelling.
The New York Times Book Review Stephen King is so widely accepted
as America's master of paranormal terrors that you can forget his
real genius is for the everyday...This is a book about reanimation:
the ghosts', of course, but also Mike's, his desire to re-embrace
love and work after a long bereavement that King depicts with an
eye for the kind of small but moving details that don't typically
distinguish blockbuster horror novels.
Amy Tan What I admire most about Bag of Bones is its intelligence
of voice, not only the craftsmanship -- the indelible sense of
place, the well-fleshed characters, the unstoppable story line --
but the witty and obsessive voice of King's powerful imagination.
It places both the ghost story and Stephen King in their proper
place on the shelf of literary American fiction.
Anne Rivers Siddons I loved Bag of Bones. It's Stephen King for the
new millennium, with all the heart and wit showing through the
suspense. I always knew he'd do this. Such an evocation of love,
grief and healing.
