gabriellaschmidt 's review for:

Blaze by Stephen King, Richard Bachman
5.0

I first read "Blaze" by Richard Bachman (Stephen King's pseudonym) in 2008 and recall loving it. Re-reading it many years later, I still love it. The character of Blaze is so memorable. His circumstances are heart breaking and we want to cheer on this unlikely hero even as he plots his crime. Most of his actions come from his good heart. The monsters in this story are the people who have mistreated him. Again, Stephen King is so great at creating memorable characters that stick with us for years.
