The feel of a cautionary tale. Live a good life, be kind to others, and don't screw people over. It will come back and bite you. Possibly in a creepy King manner. ( ) Stephen King has a true talent when it comes to writing that he can make an ordinary story about a man seeing dead people on the telly (I see dead people! lol) and making it really entertaining. This isn't a great story, but it's good, really good. An easy read for an evening when you feel like reading something short and good. Una storia sul baseball e subito pensi che non ci capirai nulla, poi... Lo sport in questione, è più un pretesto per sviluppare questo buon racconto, che il Fedele Lettore apprezzerà. C'è il King che più piace, quello che non si dilunga in inutili spiegazioni, le cose accadono e non vi è un perché. Da leggere tutto d'un fiato. “Look at me,” Evers said. “I’m on TV, therefore I exist.” ― Stephen King, A Face in the Crowd This was a creepy little read. I'd been wanting to check this one out for a long time but did not have an E reader. Luckily that has changed. So I was pulled in immediately. And this is the type of King that I love..eerie rather then gory or outright in your face scary. I kind of felt like I was watching an episode of the twilight zone. Remember that wonderful show? I loved it as a kid. Used to watch it all the time. And this was like going back in time. So the story, short as it was, was really interesting. And intense. I have no quibbles with it but I guess I really wish it had been even 10 or 20 pages longer. It is really kind of over in the blink of an eye. I wanted more "Twilight Zone" effect. But as short as it was it really leaves a mark. I will not be forgetting this anytime soon. I am not, nor will I ever be, a Baseball fan but I really do not think you have to be to get into this story. I LOVED the premise. And it is awesome that such a short book could be that thought provoking AND be so rich in atmosphere and have such wonderful characterizations. I mean..the whole thing is like only 30 pages! But it was a fun read. Recommended to those who like eerie little stories. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"Dean Evers, an elderly widower, sits in front of the television with nothing better to do than waste his leftover evenings watching baseball. It's Rays/Mariners, and David Price is breezing through the line-up. Suddenly, in a seat a few rows up beyond the batter, Evers sees the face of someone from decades past, someone who shouldn't be at the ballgame, shouldn't be on the planet. And so begins a parade of people from Evers's past, all of them occupying that seat behind home plate. Until one day Dean Evers sees someone even eerier"--Container.
