Well, I can't complain. I really can't. This book is actually pretty good. It's about a man who takes part of an apparently simple experiment in exchange of some money and years later finds out that the company is behind him and his family because his daughter seems to have a special "talent": the ability to set things afire with her thoughts. In spite of my slow rhythm to read it, it is fast paced and easy to understand. The beginning of the story already makes your heart beat faster, but I kinda expected more from the middle of the book until near the end of it. More action, more drama, more emotion, but the story actually gets pretty mild nearby the end. Then, unexpected things happen and it slowly gets back to the fast paced narrative. There are no loose threads in this book, which nice. Characters are pretty acceptable, but nothing that will make you fall in love with them. A pretty nice book to entertain you for a couple of nights.

Can't believe I have not read this sooner, I thought I'd read all the King books but found this gem the other day in my Google Play Books list - absolutely fantastic - gripping from beginning to end, and just like some of his best work, King makes you invest in the characters. Doctor Sleep was an amazing sequel to The Shining - I think we need to find out what became of Charlie McGee too!

Maybe its a one off problem but my download is missing pages and I'm very unhappy. Someone wanna help me out here?
