Book Review

Stephen King's "The Dark Half" is a gripping thriller that delves into the theme of the duality of human nature. The book tells the story of writer Thad Beaumont, who decides to rid himself of his pseudonym George Stark, only to find that his alter ego begins to live its own life. Critics note that King masterfully creates an atmosphere of tension and horror, immersing the reader in a world where the lines between reality and fiction blur. Special attention is given to the psychological depth of the characters and their internal conflicts. Some reviewers highlight that the novel serves as a metaphor for the author's struggle with his own demons and creative crises. Despite some predictable moments, "The Dark Half" is considered one of King's strong works, showcasing his talent in the horror and psychological thriller genre.
