Probably it doesn't matter, I know, and yet often it seems to me that it does matter. In the early morning hours, the small matters pursue me as much as the big ones. It's as if there is no escape from the constant barrage of thoughts and concerns, both large and small. The quiet of the night should bring peace, but instead, it sometimes magnifies these issues, making them feel even more pressing. Whether it's a minor decision that needs to be made or a major life event looming on the horizon, they all seem to have an equal hold on my mind. I wonder if this is a common experience, or if I'm alone in feeling this way. But even if others feel the same, it doesn't make it any easier to deal with.

After finishing reading the book,

sincerely I ask myself if any woman would react in the way that his soon-to-be ex-wife did.

I imagine the angers and traumas that she must have gone through.

But still, her reaction to the murder of her therapist and the way she hates Steven, even though he saves her life,

besides the not very coherent reasons on which that hatred is based, seems very extreme.

The worst thing is that I don't doubt that such a situation, or a similar one, is possible.

It makes me think about how complex human emotions and relationships can be.

Sometimes, people's reactions are influenced by factors that are not immediately obvious.

In this case, perhaps the ex-wife's hatred towards Steven is rooted in deeper issues that are not fully explored in the book.

It also makes me wonder how we can better understand and empathize with the experiences and emotions of others.

Maybe if we took the time to listen and try to see things from their perspective, we could avoid making hasty judgments and assumptions.

Overall, this book has made me reflect on the power of emotions and the importance of communication in our relationships.

ALMUERZO EN EL CAFÉ GOTHAM

This book was recently given to me by Vanessa De Barullo for my birthday, and I had to include it in the list because the cover seemed irresistible to me, and on top of that, it was a story by King.

The story grabs you from the very first lines, and I have enjoyed the illustrations like never before. For me, they were not an extra as in other cases, not just something to complement the story. This time, they were the ones that gave body, atmosphere, and darkness to the tale. They are a wonder, seriously.

Then, unfortunately, the story goes downhill, and you can only be content with the visual aspect, as nothing in the resolution is believable: neither the leitmotif, nor the coincidence of the maître, nor anything at all.

And yet, hey, because I have had a really nice time with this adventure of madness and heartlessness.

The story itself is interesting and well-written.

I liked the build-up of tension, but it seems to be cut short.

I was expecting to find a final plot twist, but there wasn't one.

The illustrations are really beautiful. I'm adding a star just for them!

This story had the potential to be even more engaging if it had a more satisfying conclusion.

The lack of a plot twist left me a bit disappointed.

However, the overall writing and the illustrations make it still worth reading.

Maybe the author will come up with a more exciting ending in a future version.

Until then, I'll enjoy the story for what it is and look forward to seeing more from this author.

Mah, sicuramente da King mi aspettavo tutt'altro.

His personality really jumps out only on the very last page, and thus one manages to understand that it is his story.

It's quite unexpected. I had certain preconceived notions about what to expect from King, but this particular aspect of his writing took me by surprise.

The way his true self emerges only at the end adds an interesting layer to the narrative. It makes one wonder if there are other hidden depths and nuances that might be revealed upon further exploration of his works.

Perhaps this is a characteristic trait of King's writing style, to keep the reader guessing and then suddenly hit them with a revelation that changes their perception.

Overall, it's an intriguing observation that makes me eager to see what else King has in store for us in his future writings.

Think I'll stick to my locale cafe from now on.

You know, there's something truly special about that little place. It's not just a place to grab a cup of coffee, but a haven where I can unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

The moment I walk in, I'm greeted by the warm aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the friendly smiles of the baristas. The cozy atmosphere, with its comfortable seating and soft music, makes me feel right at home.

Plus, the coffee there is always top-notch. They use only the finest beans and know exactly how to brew the perfect cup. Whether I'm in the mood for a rich and creamy latte or a strong and bold espresso, they never disappoint.

So, from now on, you can find me at my locale cafe, sipping on my favorite coffee and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. GEEEEEE! (Long G)

Ah, what I am following in King... He was able to hold on in the lottery for 30 pages, make his beloved detailed descriptions and finally go to a wonderful and unexpected conclusion. It's truly amazing how he managed to keep the story so engaging and full of surprises. Each page seemed to bring a new twist and turn, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat. The way he described the scenes and the characters was so vivid that it felt as if you were right there with them. It's no wonder that this work has become so popular and has captured the hearts of many readers.

Soriel. Unreal or beyond reality? I want it to be unreal. The beginning progresses well. The reader feels a sense of kinship. But then, in the coffee shop, suddenly everything changes. I expected it to have a stronger plot, but with a weak ending, I'm disappointed.


Soriel seems to have started off with promise. The initial part engages the reader and creates a certain connection. However, as the story unfolds in the coffee shop, there is a sudden shift that leaves the reader somewhat confused. The anticipation of a more intense and captivating plot is not fully realized, especially with the rather lackluster ending. It makes one wonder if there could have been more depth and development to make the story truly memorable.


Perhaps the author intended to create a sense of mystery or surprise, but it didn't quite hit the mark. There were opportunities to explore the characters and their relationships further, but they were not fully exploited. Overall, while Soriel had some good moments, it ultimately falls short of achieving the level of excellence that one might have hoped for.

Entre cuchillos y salmones.


This is a short story (less than 60 pages) about how madness is contagious.


It's the first time I'm reading Stephen King, and I don't know what his other stories and novels will be like. However, the fact that this one is labeled as "terror" is a complete fallacy.


The story is engaging despite its short length. We get to know the protagonist quite well, but in so few pages, not too much can be told, and the story feels incomplete. Narrated in the first person, we only know Steven's point of view, and there's nothing to prove or disprove his ideas. From the beginning, the narration already lets us know what's going to happen, so we're inherently waiting for it to occur, and when the moment arrives, it's splendid.


And, for those who have already read it, I wish you a lot of Iiiiiiiiiiiiiii.


Overall, this short story offers an interesting glimpse into Stephen King's writing style. While it may not be a full-fledged horror story as labeled, it still manages to draw the reader in and keep them engaged until the end. The use of the first-person narrative adds a sense of intimacy and immediacy, allowing us to experience the events through Steven's eyes. However, the brevity of the story also means that some aspects may feel rushed or underdeveloped. Nevertheless, it's a worthwhile read that makes me eager to explore more of King's works.

Javier Olivares presents a truly terrifying tale that is enhanced by his excellent illustrations. In this story, what begins as a seemingly ordinary appointment takes a macabre turn. The narrative is highly engaging, keeping the reader on the edge of their seat from start to finish. The characters are well-developed, adding depth and authenticity to the story. Each character has their own unique personality and motives, which makes them easy to relate to and invest in. The illustrations bring the story to life, adding an extra layer of horror and atmosphere. They are detailed and well-executed, perfectly complementing the text. Overall, this is a must-read for fans of horror and anyone looking for a thrilling and engaging story.

The story is about a woman who wants to get divorced from her husband. Of course, the story is told from the man's language, but I think the main focus of the story is on the woman's behaviors in specific moments.

I don't recommend this story except to those who have extra time.

It seems that the woman's actions and decisions are the core of the narrative, and perhaps the man is simply the observer or the one telling the tale.

However, without knowing more details about the story, it's difficult to fully understand the complexity of the woman's situation and the reasons behind her desire for divorce.

Maybe there are hidden emotions, conflicts, or circumstances that are not immediately obvious.

Overall, this story might offer some insights into the dynamics of a relationship and the choices that people make, but it may not be a must-read for everyone.

It really depends on one's personal interests and curiosity about such topics.
