Billy Summers by Stephen King

3.5 ⭐️

Was an interesting take on the "one last job" theme. I like the overall idea of the book but it seemed that half way through the plot just completely changed. Not necessarily a bad thing it just seems like one plot line started before another was finished.

Billy is a very likeable character. This was my first Stephen King book and I thought he did a great job of fully fleshing out who he was and his motivations. I think that there was some areas the book just started to get repetitive and dragged on. Wasn't a big fan of the ending either, just seemed to be too obvious. Gave it 3 stars because I enjoyed it but wouldn't read again.
