4 Stars. I love these throwback, pulpy books by King. This one was a great fall read. I always enjoy King in the fall. It’s his time, I think. As usual, the characters drove the book. No one creates them better than he does. I almost feel like there is more to this story. Maybe a lot more. I guess we’ll see. Happy Halloween Month.

If that was such thing for a Stephen King novel. Really enjoyed this book. Kings style of writing fits perfectly in my mind. I liked the character engagement with the reader.

A page turner with a few nice twists. Classic SK

Look, there are a lot of subpar ratings out there for this piece, and in some ways I can understand. Let me use a comparison to some of my favorite comedy. I love a stand up who can make you laugh for fifty five minutes and then leave you with the last five as morality, inner retrospective and philosophical commentary and then end with a good joke. This is what King does in ‘Later’. He gives you a great suspense story based in the spiritual realm and will give you a reason to keep reading through 95% of the story. The retrospective at the end serves as the button, the recap, the application to the story itself. Those who complain about the story are taking it at face value. This is a must read if you’re a King fan, but you must allow yourself to feel, learn, and most important: self identify,

Great storytelling!

Later kept me wanting more. The descriptions of the ghosts was very visual, like I was watching a movie and not reading a book. At some lines I was covering my eyes. The ending was a unexpected surprise.

I have been reading King since I was a girl. Now at 64 I still can’t put him down. We are, in fact, constant companions! Later is a quick read and as ever, brilliant storytelling. But, I want more. I want Jamie to become a detective and use his special powers! Liz said it, he would make a great detective, the Dead’s Detective. Enjoy Later. But I guarantee, you WILL want more!

The kind where you thinks about the characters later on !

Not bad…as always I enjoyed reading it during my treadmill workouts.

Not quite the normal King page turner, but a good story nonetheless. He always seems to answer the open question. Great writers stand in the shoes of their future readers. Those shoes fit Mr. King quite well.
