tyrelljh 's review for:

Rage by Richard Bachman
5.0



“When you're five and you hurt, you make a big noise in the world. At ten you whimper. But by the time you make fifteen you begin to eat the poisoned apples that grow on your own inner tree of pain.”

Rage was a thrilling, quick ride! It's honestly quite ridiculous that this book was banned due to the sensitivity of the issue. I understand that it may make some people upset but people need to learn to separate the novel from reality.

Just in case anyone doesn't know, Richard Bachman is Stephen King's pseudonym.

For those who don't know about Rage, it is essentially about a student with mental health issues who decides to invoke a school shooting and hold a classroom hostage. The captive students begin to slowly lean into the rage that the MC invokes.

You will be on your toes the entire time you're reading this story!
