Five stars for one of my very favorite Stephen King stories: the enthralling and legendary 1993 novel, Dolores Claiborne. As old as this book is, and considering it was made into a big budget film starring Kathy Bates (my favorite King adaption, by the way), almost everyone knows the plot so I won't rehash too much. But I will say this is the story of a woman easily the strongest woman King has ever created, and simply one of the best damn female main characters I've ever come across inUltra Geil*__*
This novel was under the further reading section of Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn which lured me to buy it. (I was new to Stephen King back then)Dolores Claiborne is basically a confession of a woman named by the title, to the police after being accused of killing her employer Vera Donavan. Although she didn't kill Vera, she did confess the things she's been through past 30 years of being with her that was buried deep under herself all this time. This novel is full of fast paced suspense with
Im not an ardent fan od Stephen King but Dolores Claiborne felt pretty good to me. Ive read only three his works earlier just to see what people see in him and have to say I liked him the most in his psychological version. Because despite the opinion of being horror writer he is quite good observer of life, not specially prophetic, revealing or something, just good. Also he seems to have an eye to render quite an atmosphere of time and place he describes. And to me picture of reality, even if
5***** and a ❤The entire novel is told by Dolores Claiborne in her sworn statement to the investigating police. Her employer of 40 years has died in a tragic accident or did Dolores kill her? Dolores doesnt pull any punches, she tells us on page two that she did not kill Vera Donovan (though Vera deserved killing, more than once she was a high-riding bitch). No, Dolores did nothing to hasten old Mrs Donovans ending but she did kill her husband, Joe St George, twenty-nine years ago. King
You know what is impressive? How Stephen King can write a story, really drag you into it and make you feel for his characters and do it over and over again in a new way. For those of you who still insist on not reading Stephen King because he writes scary horrific stories. Let me tell you, only sometimes that is the case. He writes about people in different situations with different circumstances that they have to deal with. This is a 5 star read because it was masterfully done.In my experience,
Wow, what a great story! In the beginning I had a hard time making up what kind of setting it was and what was going on. After I found that out I started to love this story. I could not put the book down and I am happy that I have read it. Good character building and development. Great suspense building in general.
