Later is Stephen King’s latest novel. The protagonist, Jamie, is a kid who sees dead people and can converse with them. This skill occasionally allows him to do good deeds but also can be a skill others want to exploit. I won’t describe the plot, because how it unfolds is one of the attractions of the story. Jamie is a likeable character from the get-go and his mom, the main supporting character, is sympathetic. The descriptions of the ghosts and the paranormal activity is good. As always with King, the ordinary details of life, both kid life and adult life, are reported in the way ordinary human beings experience them, and the book isn’t really about horror, it’s about people. Later is an enjoyable and easy-to-read tale. Here’s what The New York Times says:
