Après
by Stephen King, published on November 3, 2021 by Éditions Albin Michel.
Her favorite quote:
"It is quite possible that once I reach my forties (provided I live until then), I think back to everything I thought I understood at twenty-two, and that I then measure how good I was. far from the account. There is always an after, and now I know it. Until we obviously die. From there I guess everything belongs up front. "
Why this book?
Because it is already Stephen King's brand new novel
released in French, and that is enough for a fan to rush on such a book.
Because it's an excellent thriller with a touch of fantasy…
and a hint of horror.
Moreover the protagonist, who tells the story, says quickly in the book: “In my opinion, what follows is a story of horror.
Up to you.
"
Because with barely 330 pages, it's a little novel
on the scale of Stephen King.
It's not a block of 800 or 1,200 pages for once!
And as a result, this novel is devoured quite quickly ... especially since it is difficult to stop once launched!
Because Jamie's character is really touching.
We are very worried about this young boy who does not grow up in an ideal context and is experiencing something clearly… disturbing.
The essentials in 2 minutes
The plot.

The latter has a unique gift ... which will trigger an intriguing and terrifying adventure.

The author.
Is there really a need to present Stephen King, master of the thriller whose works have very often been adapted for cinema or in series?
This book has been read with
great care and delight.
