I finished reading 'Salem's Lot last week and loved it. I have loved all of the SK books I have read, but this time I felt the book was over too quickly, without me realizing how long I had been reading. The typefont is not significantly bigger than in other books, so I suppose it is just that the story caught me completely.
And now I want to discuss about the characters. Mainly, who is your favorite one?
It must be difficult to choose one, if people liked them all as I did. But two were at the top for me:
Mark (who I think will be the favorite of many others), for being so focused and analytical, not only when fighting against vampires, but also when disciplining bullies and when dealing with his parents' opinions.
And Jimmy, for being the character that is full of light in this book (just like Tommy Ross from Carrie or Jack Cantori from Duma Key). I love this type of characters, who are willing to do things for other people. I also loved how he kept his boyish looks and, there is no point in denying it, I also loved the freckles and the red hair.
A very close one is Father Callahan. I liked how his decaying faith was more due to wanting to do more, rather than the opposite. It was sad to discover that his faith was truly big, except, of course, when he did not believe in himself. It helps that I am a Catholic, too. I cannot wait to see him in The Dark Tower.
Now, who are your favorites? Even the regular townspeople count.
