I read the 1990 expanded edition this year (2021). Some of the language and tropes, especially the dialogue, are now pretty dated (who refers to sex as "the horizontal bop" these days? and a character like Frannie, whose world seems to revolve around the men in her life, does not read well in the 21st century). That said, it's still a rip-snorter of a story. Like most of what King has written, it hooks you until the you can actually hear the characters just behind your shoulder, murmuring, breathing, laughing. I felt bereft when I'd finished. This apparently is the novel that most Stephen King fan say is their favourite. I am not sure about that, but I do know it’s an extremely good and arguably important book. It certainly one of those books that I’m glad I’ve read. This was the second time that I read it, having read it when I was in my late teenage years. I could remember little apart from parts of the final third, And it seemed like a new book. I think with any book that’s over 1000 pages long, one gets very invested into it. That’s along with Stephen. King’s folk style means that you really feel something about the characters. This is the sort of book that a bookclub could discuss for six months. Is it his best, it certainly very different from the normal Stephen King run. There’s no really detailed recollection and depiction of America in the 1960s or 50s, and there isn’t a professorial or author type of character living somewhere in Maine. Don’t get me wrong, turns up but it’s not like what he’s done before. I’m not gonna leave any spoilers here, but you’ll never forget the journey that the characters make. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

First came the virus. And then the dreams...A man escapes from a biological testing facility, unknowingly carrying a deadly weapon: a mutated strain of super-flu that will wipe out over 99 percent of the world's population within a few weeks. Those who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge - Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a peaceful community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the 'dark man', the apostate of death, the warlord of the charnel house and Prince of Evil. Now the survivors must choose between them - and ultimately decide the fate of all humanity. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

E allora, perché tre stelline tre?
Perché all'epoca mi fece comunque una paura boia. E la scena di Flagg che tira fuori un gran sorriso ancora mi fa rizzare i capelli in testa al solo pensiero.
