So far 2 for 2 on the Bachmans. This one was just as dark but had a bit more of a tough to relate aspect obviously. But still extremely enjoyable quick reading.

This was a rough one. I absolutely loved it though.
Charlie is such an insane protagonist (if you can call him that) and I loved how unhinged the entire situation is. I don’t want to give anything away, but if you can deal with the subject matter, you should read this book.

3,5⭐️
Hätte niemals zu dem Buch gegriffen, wenn ich mir nicht die chronologische Erschließung des Kinguniversums vorgenommen hätte.
Ein psychologisches Kammerspiel. Der Täter nüchtern, intelligent, abgeklärt. Nur die Magenverstimmungen lassen erkennen: da rauscht viel Stress durch das Kerlchen.
Wie es sich für King gehört, kommt die amerikanische Gesellschaft schlecht weg: Mami die es zu gut meint, Vater gewalttätig, Kind wächst mit zu vielen Widersprüchen auf, Teens und ihre Sexualität, Druck von allen Seiten, Blendung, Show und Schein. Der Kippunkt von Zivilisiert zu Raserei schnell erreicht, wenn man weiß welche Knöpfe zu drücken sind.
Jetzt hab ich bereits das Dilemma, die Kings untereinander gescheit zu bewerten. Besser als Brennen muss Salem und etwas schlechter als Carrie- also muss Carrie auf 4⭐️ hoch.

I came across Guns where he referenced this book a few times. I had to search google to find it to read. I was blown away by how good it was, this is the first time I read something by Stephen that was not a horror novel.
This can be adapted to an excellent screen play if there wasn't so much controversy surrounding this book. I could relate to Charlie with being fed up with teachers and parents, however his course of action was extremely wrong, and he was failed by everyone around him.
One review mentions Charlie's lack of depth and I agree spot on. Charlie felt very one dimensional and seemed to be written so that you feel sympathy for him. Not once throughout the story did he take responsibility for his actions, instead he told stories about his life that shaped the person that led him to his algebra classroom
