This was a great Stephen King read. It was unexpected and a bit different from what I've been used to from his style, and I guess that's why I liked it so much. The writing style was all King, but the story was unique.
I think what I like most was the fact that you actually learned the whole story. In the end, you get all the facts. And it leaves you full and satisfied. But maybe too satisfied?...

Me gustó muchísimo, pero me dio mucha tristeza, es tan injusto. Quería meterme en el libro y abrazar al protagonista. Sólo por eso le di tres estrellas.

I love nearly everything written by Stephen King but I didn't love this as much as I wanted to. I don't know if it was the narration or my concern for the baby - but this book was just so so for me. The premise of Blaze a man wants to kidnap a baby so he can do one big con and be set for the rest of his life. The only issue is that Blaze is a few fries short of a happy meal after being repeatedly being thrown down the stairs by his father as a child - for years he would pull cons with his buddy George, but ever since he was stabbed during a poker game he's been on his own. He's a gentle giant and too stupid to do much without George - but George's voice is guiding him on what to do and he wants Blaze to do this kidnapping. Can he pull it off? He is a sympathetic bad guy and the story will give you complicated emotions. I'm sad I didn't like it more.
