Cycle of the Werewolf

Really good condition and was so happy with it.

Un sympathique petit roman qu'on pourrait qualifier de conte pour adultes. Très court, très vite lu, j'ai adoré son format, les illustrations, son papier et la police d'écriture utilisée. Des originalités qui font dévorer ce livre.

This is one of those Stephen King books that isn't always readily available. Unless of course you are willing to pay an unfair price on auction sites.I'm a big Stephen King fan and I am glad to have finally read this one. It is not one of his best works but still enjoyable. The illustrations are really just there to pad out the book (in my opinion) and are completely unnecessary, but on the other hand King likes to do things differently. He split one of his books up and sold it in parts (Green Mile) he wrote a story strictly for the internet (Ride the Bullet) he is currently involved in transferring his Dark Tower books into comic books so he probably had a hand in this.My only real problem with the illustrations is that they served as spoilers to the storyline. But it was a basic werewolf storyline anyway so probably a tad predictable.The film Silver Bullet was based on this book, but it's not really a straight take on the book, just someone taking liberties so if you've seen the film, expect to read a different story.

Questo è uno dei libri di King che sono praticamente introvabili in lingua italiana, o venduti usati a prezzi assurdi.Questa edizione inglese è illustrata (come tra l’altro era stata pensata quest’opera, come una sorta di calendario), e le immagini sono molto suggestive, arricchiscono il testo.L’inglese di King non è particolarmente ostico, è affrontabile.Consiglio questo libro a chi vuole completare la sua raccolta di libri di Stephen King senza svenarsi, e ne consiglio la lettura a ridosso del periodo di Halloween perché è azzeccatissima!

I was chuffed to bits when I saw this was available on Amazon as it is one of very few of King's books that I was missing. Clever story working with great artwork.Brilliant.
