CONSIDERATIONS
When you get to finish a book of 900 pages it is unlikely that the book did not like, if you arrive in the end because you get into the book and you lived like I'm part of it become one of the protagonists.
That said, I think of all the King books I've read this is definitely my favorite.
aside the parts that concern the thriller and the black man, the struggle between good and evil, King will be a great time to think and consider what sociological implications will arise from an epidemic that wipes out almost all mankind. The man is a herd animal, it needs to come together and create a company, and personally they were the parts that I loved to read more. What happens when you run out of electricity? when all that you gave it for granted you are missing? How do you, what are the things that the most important when you have to rebuild a semblance of social life? King answers these questions by creating the figure of Glen Bateman, a sociologist who had retired to a solitary life because he hated the company. and now that the company no longer exists, it is also to him compito di farla rinascere.

CITAZIONI
"... sono convinto che tali sogni siano un semplice emetico psicologico e che per chi li fa sono più un abenedizione che una maledizione... di interpretazione di sogni ce n'è ogni genere, ma io ho sempre pensato che svolgessero una semplice funzione eliminatrice e non molto di più: che i sogni costituiscano per ola psiche una sorta di evacuazione. E che la gente che non sogna - o che comunque non sogna in modo da potersene ricordare una volta sveglia - è in certo senso mentalmente costipata. L'unica ricompensa pratica per aver avuto un incubo è svegliarsi e capire che è stato solo un sogno."
