Finders Keepers de Stephen King

Finders Keepers

Autor Stephen King
Notă:  5.00 · o notă 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 aug 2017

Notăm cu interes că acest roman polițist se adresează în primul rând cititorului fascinat de granița fragilă dintre admirație și obsesie patologică. Este o cursă contracronometru pentru oricine caută un suspans psihologic dens, unde manuscrisele nepublicate devin miza unei lupte pe viață și pe moarte. Ne-a atras atenția modul brutal în care începe acțiunea: uciderea unui scriitor retras de către un fan care nu acceptă finalul unei serii literare.

Putem afirma că ritmul este unul febril. După treizeci și cinci de ani de la crimă, manuscrisele ies la lumină, punându-l pe tânărul Pete Saubers în vizorul unui prădător abia eliberat din închisoare. Cititorul care a apreciat teroarea psihologică și relația toxică dintre autor și cititor din Misery va găsi aici o explorare similară a puterii poveștilor — dar într-un context diferit, cel al unui thriller detectivistic modern. Față de atmosfera apocaliptică din The Stand, această lucrare este mult mai ancorată în realitatea imediată, concentrându-se pe vulnerabilitatea umană și consecințele trecutului.

Această a doua parte a seriei The Bill Hodges Trilogy rafinează dinamica dintre Bill Hodges, Holly și Jerome. Dacă în Mr. Mercedes am asistat la vânătoarea unui criminal în masă, aici miza devine personală și literară. Stephen King demonstrează din nou că nu are nevoie de elemente supranaturale pentru a crea o stare de neliniște profundă. Tensiunea nu scade nicio secundă, transformând actul lecturii într-o experiență viscerală.

Descriere scurtă

Now an AT&T Audience Original Series A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes much too far--the #1 New York Times bestseller about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King introduced in Mr. Mercedes. "Wake up, genius." So announces deranged fan Morris Bellamy to iconic author John Rothstein, who once created the famous character Jimmy Gold and hasn't released anything since. Morris is livid, not just because his favorite writer has stopped publishing, but because Jimmy Gold ended up as a sellout. Morris kills his idol and empties his safe of cash, but the real haul is a collection of notebooks containing John Rothstein's unpublished work...including at least one more Jimmy Gold novel. Morris hides everything away before being locked up for another horrific crime. But upon Morris's release thirty-five years later, he's about to discover that teenager Pete Saubers has already found the stolen treasure--and no one but former police detective Bill Hodges, along with his trusted associates Holly Gibney and Jerome Robinson, stands in the way of his vengeance.... Not since Misery has Stephen King played with the notion of a reader and murderous obsession, in this #1 acclaimed bestseller filled with "nail biting suspense that's the hallmark of [his] best work" (Publishers Weekly).

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far--a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in "Mr. Mercedes."
"Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.
Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after thirty-five years.
Not since "Misery" has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. "Finders Keepers" is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life--for good, for bad, forever.

Recenzii

King has the popular novelist's gifts in spades - a flawless sense of pace, an ear for dialogue, an eye for the telling detail, a no-mess-no-fuss approach to characterisation
An almost constant build of momentum, growing in pace and tension until it finally explodes... manages to thrill with every page
A classic cat-and-mouse tale, this is King at his rip-roaring best
Fantastic...In part a love letter to literature, this is vintage King - jaw droppingly brutal but full of heart and humanity. Roll on the last in the trilogy
A remarkable display of storytelling.
It's expertly plotted, a series of pieces falling into place with almost audible satisfaction as the author burns towards his suitably horrific climax.
This novel is slick, seamlessly crafted, shockingly gory and packed with suspense
MR MERCEDES was a terrific thriller, and now there's a sequel. I squeak with glee.
FINDERS KEEPERS is a first-rate crime thriller, but it's also to King's credit that, more than 40 years into his career, he continues to experiment, and his talent, curiosity, and generous, humane spirit show no signs of flagging.
Unlike John Rothstein it seems Stephen King is determined to publish everything he can write. If books such as the effortlessly exciting FINDERS KEEPERS are the result, we should all be grateful.
Praise for MR MERCEDES:
'I challenge you not to read this book in one breathless sitting

Stephen King might just be America's greatest living novelist . . . THE BEST THRILLER OF THE YEAR . . . Recommended to crime buffs and King fans alike.
A very remarkable and singular writer. He can catch dialogue, throw away an observation or mint a simile, sometimes, brilliantly . . . Storytelling is everything - and by golly does he know how to carry the reader.
Expect page-turning suspense, jaw-dropping twists and all the addictive brilliance of a classic Stephen King.
Deserves to be ranked alongside King's masterpieces
A thrilling cat-and-mouse game
