Small library
Welcome to this little library!
This is a small space where some of the books I’ve read will be displayed ;)
★★★★★
This book is incredible, and I would read it many more times. I love how deeply it delves into Jack Torrance's past, you really get to understand why he descends into madness. Wendy is also a much more important character in the book than in the movie; she's truly able to stand up to Jack when she needs to, and she has a compelling backstory that explains why she gave him a second chance. The book does a great job of explaining the situation they're in at the hotel and the reasons why they can't leave. I should add that the chapter describing all the hotel's merchandise was a bit tedious to read.

This is the first and only book of short stories I've read by Stephen King, and I have to say it's very good. All the stories are captivating and fun to read. They also cover a wide range of themes, some are scary, and others might even evoke sadness.

★★★★☆
The story is excellent, and every character (even the most insignificant) becomes important at some point. The protagonist undergoes significant development throughout the story, changing his behavior and goals after experiencing the horrors of the institution and meeting the children there. I really liked the town lady; her character strikes a good balance between humor and seriousness, becoming more relevant toward the end. It's definitely a quick read, despite being a relatively long book.

I liked it, but I felt the pacing was a bit slow. It's written in a way that mixes the present with articles from the past or future (after the catastrophe), which made it feel a little slow at times. However, it also helps you better understand what's happening in the story. Once again, the book is much better than the movie (at least better than the first one), as it delves much deeper into the characters and provides a clearer understanding of what Carrie is going through and what she's thinking, making the ending feel much more justified. I love how her anger is reflected in her lack of control over her psychic powers.

★★★★☆
It's fantastic, a thriller with a very interesting premise. The fact that it's an ordinary person being pursued by someone from their past makes it all the more intriguing. The characters are charismatic and entertaining; they all have their own quirks and manage to outwit the protagonist. Nothing more to say, I read it years ago because I received it as a gift for my 15th birthday, but I remember it being cool!

It's definitely a good sequel, although I think I was expecting a bit of a plot twist from the start. The best character in the whole book has to be the wealthy old lady who doesn't know what to do with her money.

La metamorfosis el unno de los mejores libros que he leído. Definitivamente representa estupendamente la forma en la que la sociedad rechaza y desecha a un individuo que ya no le es útil por diversos motivos. Es una crítica magnifica a lo monotono de la productividad y lo encanchados que estamos en esta debido al sistema capitalista en el que vivimos. Por otra parte, este libro tiene otros relatos (todos muy buenos pero algunos inconclusos que no logré entender del todo). De estos otros relatos el que más me impactó fué ¨carta al padre¨ que describe a la perfección por lo que estaba pasando Kafka, sirviendo también de contexto para comprender mejor ¨La metamorfosis¨
