LemmiSchmoeker reviewed Langoliers by Stephen King

Auch für Kings Verhältnisse eher schwach

3 stars

Zwei Kurzgeschichten im Novellenformat. Die erste, "Langoliers", basiert auf einer durchaus schönen Idee, die aber eher zäh und desinteressiert umgesetzt wird; die zweite, "Das heimliche Fenster, der heimliche Garten" (manchmal sollte man Titel vielleicht doch nicht wörtlich übersetzen), ist eine Art Prototyp von "The Dark Half". Auch für Kings Verhältnisse eher schwach, auch wenn "Langoliers" immerhin leidlich interessant ist.
