It's hard to criticize a 300-page book I've read in two sessions - I mean, of course, I've loved it - King's style is almost perfect, characters are vivid and great, NY background, pop culture references, everything rocks, but the story at the end of the day is "just" good - and it's surely, well, "short".
The plot, despite the fact it starts with a kid who can see ghosts (yes - like in Bruce Willis movie, as the main character reminds us), is able to be touching and scary - and there, the scary parts, we can feel echoes of elements more than solid and outside The Sixth Sense scope - so I can't really complain. But I hoped for a stronger novel, or for a wider one.
