Blaze
by Stephen King, Richard Bachman
4/5
I rather enjoyed this book. I was quite wary of the bo0k going into it because it's definitely not one of his most popular books. However, I personally thought it was one of his best (that I've read - I'm not a Stephen King expert, nor have I read many of his books at all.) It was different, but I liked it.
I enjoyed the characterisation - witty, at times, but also questionable in morals. I liked the mental health aspect of it. I much preferred this ending to his sci-fi/fantasy endings, as it actually made sense to me this time. There was no ridiculous higher being/monster dying gruesomely at the hands of biker kids or idiotic adults. It was just a plain and simple human stand-off.
Still, I wish the ending had more to give. I would've liked to know a bit more about the reasoning behind his action, I didn't feel like that was fully explored. I definitely found towards the end of the book that I was preferring learning about his past than reading his present life with the baby (which was very repetitive). Regardless, I really liked this book.
