A review by jeremygibbs
Firestarter by Stephen King

5.0

As I read King's books in order, Firestarter is easily one of my favorites thus far. Like in The Dead Zone and others, there is a dystopian government backstory. However, King makes it feel like a natural component of the story instead of an overt sermon to the reader. Of King's earliest works, Firestarter may be the best at the art of storytelling. The pace flows masterfully throughout the novel, leaving the reader with the uncontrollable desire to read just one more page. I highly recommend this book.
