Blaze by Stephen King, Richard Bachman
4.0
adventurous dark emotional sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Well written and entertaining from beginning to end. It's tragic and moving, and while I wasn't moved to side with the protagonist as many readers are, I did empathize with him. I believe that's the point. The protagonist is a criminal, but he's also a person.

My copy also had a short story in the back, called Memory, and while it was also entertaining and emotional, I failed to understand the point. That's on me, though.
