This story jumps out to a quick start but then it slows down just as quickly. For a while there I thought is going to go in the same direction as Lisey's Story, and that had me concerned. I am a great fan of Stephen King and although I liked Lisey's story, I didn't really like reading the book (if that makes any sense). Bag of Bones, however, hits the gas again and quickly takes off in another direction. I really has no idea where the story was going to take me and that made it a lot of fun to read, like flying down a twisting road faster than you should, never being able to see around the next curve.

When you have an author that you know, is not afraid to kill of any character at any given moment in the story (no matter how much you have come to like them), and someone that does not plot but rather let's the characters in the story do whatever it is, that they are going to do (and pay whatever consequences that come from those actions), you always seem to get a page turning nail-biter and Bag of Bones does not disappoint.
