Auch spukt in Sara der Geist von Herman Melville und Ray Bradbury: während des gesamten Buches spürt der Leser die Autoren förmlich und dasselbe gilt auch für die beiden Romanzen des Buches (der Held sinnt über seine Ehe nach und verliebt sich dabei in eine junge alleinstehende Mutter mit einer bezaubernden übersinnlichen Tochter). Zudem enthält das Buch eine heitere Satire auf die Welt der Bestseller: An gegebener Stelle klagt der Protagonist sein Leid mit den Worten: "Publicity machen ist, als ob man in ein Sushi-Restaurant geht und selbst das Sushi ist." Durch die intensive Beschäftigung mit der Liebe, kinderreichen Familien, dem Leben des Protagonisten und Kindern in Gefahr erinnert das Buch an einen Roman von John Irving. Gleichzeitig ist es aber auch ein Stephen-King-Klassiker, voll von geistreichen Phrasen, sarkastischem Humor und blutrünstigen Monstern, die ihre Krallen nach Ihnen ausstrecken, während Sie unter Ihrer Bettdecke kauern. --Tim Appello
In Bag of Bones, though, he overcomes a lot of his previous pitfalls. When I liked his characters, liked the plot, and liked the overall feel of the book, I feared that the protagonist would end up fighting a giant planet-eating sponge in the final chapter. When I got to the end, genuinely satisfied, it was great.
Bag of Bones tells the story of a recently-widowered novelist and the dark conspiracy he uncovers when he tries to understand his wife's last few months. The facts of the backstory as well as the story itself are kept wonderfully murky until the end; we are not told straight away by the back of the books that this is one man's struggle against an evil car. It can only be called a ghost story, and a fine one at that.
Running nearly a thousand pages, the book has several plots which touch on each other just enough to pique our interest without merging entirely into one massive jumble. The characters are, for the most part, all individuals. Although one or two seem to be mere "stock villains" or "stock protagonists," their simplicity works, and they're developed at least well enough to make them characters, not objects.
Bag of Bones is not, perhaps, the 'definitive' Stephen King novel. I would not even call it my favourite. (I have a special place in my heart for Running Man.) It may well be his most sophisticated, however, and I am told that it speaks of things to come in his later and future writing. It is certainly worth a small investment of time and money for anyone who enjoys a good ghost story.
