Four Past Midnight - Stephen King [This is the German version]
This is basically two novels put together into one binding. The first one is about a plane that ends up in another time where everyone has vanished and where nothing is ever the same.
The second one is about an author who finds himself confronted with someone who claims he has stolen his short story ideas and tries to prove him wrong.
The Langoliers
I didn’t really like the first novel. Like in so many Stephen King books you get to know each character and each of their stories first. Since there are only six main characters (and next-to-no supporting ones) there’s a lot to it. I thought it was a bit boring and the setting and the time travelling just weren’t my thing. I didn’t feel the urge to read it, actually, but I’m glad I did because..
Secret Window, Secret Garden
…The second novel was the absolute best mental breakdown process Stephen King has ever written. I don’t want to spoil anything but … man.. THAT plot twist. I didn’t see that coming, honestly! I loved, loved, loved it! Why didn’t they put it first in this collection?! Why isn’t this a hyped thing?! Why isn’t this popular!
