Specifications: sequel to "The Talisman" , was released in 2001 and is one volume a little longer than its predecessor, about 700 pages. Edition recommended and cost: Sperling Paperback, € 10.40 (but only after taking "The Talisman").
Comment: The novel is the sequel to the Talisman, and tells the story of Jack Sawyer, now an adult, that at a time off work (last hour the detective) arrives in the town of French Landing (Wisconsin) . In this country there is a being, a monster strange, called "the fisherman" Luring kids and makes them disappear, Restitude (sometimes) broken. Who is it? It 's really a monster? It 'a serial killer? Or are they just inventions of the locals?
Case wants the detective Jack Sawyer is now put to investigate the matter, using an old black and dark as "dimensional portal", as support, to return to the "Territories", that the parallel world that a child has used many times to save his mother and the search for the talisman (though now, Jack recalls little of his childhood).
I believe we are on the same wavelength in the previous chapter, even if after 20 years Peter Straub and Stephen King are trying to "close the circle" of Jack's life, and creating this pseudomostro this dark house that gives birth to evil. told Ben, good characters (the motorcyclist who really like Alan to say!), And an old man at the nursing home that really scares the reader very well characterized.
Closing this phantom circle, the landscape is in my opinion a little better than the word of the Talisman, but still maybe a book too long, with too many descriptions, too many characters and too many paragraphs or chapters that could be avoided. After a while the reader is likely to go astray if the story did not take so particular.
Solito "defect" of King, although it remains a good novel.
Overall Rating: 6.5
