Richard Bachman

3.55 AVERAGE


It was boring for most of it and the remaining part wasn’t that interesting either. Very predictable.

2- 2.5 Stars.

I just kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing really did. This felt like Stephen King-lite. Yawn. Not a fan of this story.

was a quick, entertaining read. wasn't really stephen king, was really richard bachman

Stephen King always warns his readers against the Richard Bachman books, and it is true that many are not quite up to the caliber of a King book. However, despite not having the supernatural elements that permeate many of King's books, except for, arguably, Blaze having the 'shine,' the book fit perfectly into the King collection. Clayton is complex and a terrifying mix of dangerous and compassionate humanity. You find yourself alternately rooting for and against him, sometimes at the same time.
It may not have had the adrenaline rush of some of King's more famous book, but still a great, worthwhile read for any fan of his characters and writing.

I loved this book. Blaze was written so well I was actually rooting for him to get away with Joe.
