The town knew darkness... ...and the awful, heavy silence of terrifying images grotesquely dancing in and out of the shadows...and stark white faces, huge empty eyes and long gnarled hands that reached out with lustful insistence...and the paralyzing fear of a diabolical corruption and a hideous peril more dreadful than death But no one living in 'Salem's Lot dared talk about the high, sweet, evil laughter of a child... and the sucking sounds... ---back cover
This book was a bit of a punishment to get through. I just really hate Stephen King's writing and not gonna try another book. I have liked some film adaptations and was hoping for easy reading from his works but they drag, they aren't scary, they do not age well. I shouldn't expect much but every women is intellectually dumb and every man is emotional dumb and they are all so two dimensional.
Mi primer libro de este monstruo hiperproductivo. He de decir que me quedo, que me ha convencido, que le compro la vaca. Genial cómo sobrevuela el pueblo en el que se desarrolla la historia para darnos pinceladas de las vidas de sus habitantes. Eso y la forma en la que acumula la tensión es lo que me ha gustado más.
Gustatu zait, irakurri ditudan ia guztiak bezala. Gainera, honek amaiera ona du eta Stephen Kingen jarraitzaileok ondo baino hobeto dakigunez, oso amaiera eskaseko liburu zoragarriak idazteko gaitasun itzela dauka. Banpiroen gaiari buelta polita ematen dio 70. hamarkadako Estatu Batuetan kokatuz. Gauza batzuk (batez ere bat) sinesgaitzegiak dira, baita banpiroak existitu izanaren premisa onartzen duen irakurlearentzat ere, eta horregatik kentzen diot izar-erdia.
Stephen Kingen liburu garaikideagoak irakurri badituzu, egilearen nortasun zigilua izango dena aurkituko duzu liburu honetan lehen aldiz landuta: komunitate lasai bat hartzea eta txikitzea. Eta, egia esan, egiten dakien hori oso ondo egiten daki.
Nabarmentzekoa da bigarren mailako pertsonaien lanketa Carrie liburuan (bere lehen liburua izan zen) baino dezente hobea dela.
