In this thrilling sequel to the New York Times bestselling novella by Stephen King and award-winning author Richard Chizmar, an adult Gwendy is summoned back to Castle Rock after the mysterious reappearance of the button box.
Something evil has swept into the small Maine town of Castle Rock on the heels of the latest winter storm. Sheriff Norris Ridgewick and his team are desperately searching for two missing girls, but time is running out.

In Washington, DC, thirty-seven-year-old Gwendy Peterson couldn't be more different from the self-conscious teenaged girl who once spent a summer running up Castle Rock's Suicide Stairs. That same summer, she had been entrustedâ??or some might say cursedâ??with the extraordinary button box by Richard Farris, the mysterious stranger in the black suit. The seductive and powerful box offered Gwendy small gifts in exchange for its care and feeding until Farris eventually returned, promising the young girl she'd never see the box again.

One day, though, the button box suddenly reappears but this time, without Richard Farris to explain why, or what she's supposed to do with it. Between this and the troubling disappearances back in Castle Rock, Gwendy decides to return home. She just might be able to help rescue the missing girls and stop a dangerous madman before he does something ghastly.

With breathtaking and lyrical prose, Gwendy's Magic Feather explores whether our lives are controlled by fate or the choices we make and what price we sometimes have to pay. Prepare to return again to Stephen King's Castle Rock, the sleepy little town built on a bedrock of deep, dark secrets, just as it's about to awaken from its quiet slumber once

I didn’t enjoy this as much as the first one. There were too many times where he would mention something suddenly that was significant to the story without an explanation immediately (usually the explanation came in the next chapter) and I kept thinking I missed something, so I would go back to look only to find out it was explained or elaborated on later. I don’t mind something like that once in a book but he did that at least three different times and I ended up confused for parts of the book.

I do hope he continues her story though, with a tad bit more explanation about the background of Mr. Farris and the button box. A little mystery is great, bits to leave up to the imagination of the reader, but this is a bit too much. Maybe I’m missing the point, but I feel like there could be so much more to this story. ( )

Han pasado quince años desde que Gwendy Peterson dejó Castle Rock. Ahora tiene treinta y siete; vive en Washington D. C. y apenas recuerda a la adolescente que volvía a casa en verano a través de las Escaleras de los Suicidios. Sin embargo; su caja de botones vuelve a ella y Gwendy descubre que en Castle Rock han desaparecido dos chicas. El sheriff Ridgewick y su equipo trabajan a contrarreloj para encontrarlas sin saber a qué clase de enemigo se enfrentan. No obstante; Gwendy sí lo sabe; y es consciente de que es la única que podrá traerlas de vuelta...; pero solo si utiliza la poderosa y peligrosa caja de botones una vez más. ( )

A disappointment. First, this book looks a lot longer than it really is, as it has really large type and very short chapters. I'd say it's maybe novella length, if that. That's probably why it's such a fast read, but in all respects, it appears meatier than it ultimately turns out to be. Every character comes across as two-dimensional, and overall there doesn't seem to be much point to this story. It's set in the past but told in present tense, which always irks me. There's a bit of alternative history regarding who's President, but that storyline doesn't go much of anywhere--in fact, there is just no compelling story at all in this book, nothing to tie it all together, no satisfaction at the resolution. There were also several glaring errors in terms of grammar and punctuation, which I always find distracting. None of this excites me to read the third in the series, which I already own, but I guess I will get around to it sooner or later. ( )

In this installment, Gwendy is now married and a representative in Congress. Mr. Farris returns with the button box, and this time, Gwendy uses it to help solve the mystery of the disappearance of several young girls. Her parents remind her of the time that she purchased a magic feather when she was a young girl. The feather appears multiple times throughout the book, with a special meaning. ( )

A decent sequel, a quick read just like the first but perhaps quite not in par with it. Nothing special, but I don't regret spending the time. ( )
