A review by actualconman
Billy Summers by Stephen King

4.0

I knew going into this that this had unusually positive buzz for a modern King novel and I was still surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The crime aspects are fun to read but it's the characters that are the real standouts. Alice suffers a little as a King-written woman, just a little, but I still love her, and Billy is an amazing main. Rarely for a lot of books I've read, despite doing so many things, not one thing in this book did I find myself dragging through or not wanting to read; the assassination, Billy's writings, the suburban or in-hiding parts, all of them page turners, which is a rarity for me.
