The Fireman by Joe Hill

2.0

Ooof. I'd read some disappointing reviews prior to reading The Fireman, so I went in with low expectations with hopes that I'd end up pleasantly surprised. Nope. What a cast of lifeless, expendable, and unrelatable characters. Such a great premise that at times reminded me of the great plague from The Stand, but somehow the characters just drag this thing down. Not what I've come to expect from Joe Hill. Enough with the Mary Poppins, for Christ sake.
