Blaze
by Stephen King, Richard Bachman
Clayton Blaisdell Jr, known by his peers as Blaze, has had one hell of a childhood. One a smart and happy little boy, his life turned to shit when his drunken father threw him down the stairs not once, but multiple times resulting in a head injury that caused him to then be slow. He was taken from his father's custody and put into a state run institution, an abusive one at that. The book tells Blazes' childhood and the mischief he got into, as well as the horrible foster home he lived in for a short time. Now he's an adult and about to commit one of the biggest crimes he has committed in his life this far, and solo at that. He is going to follow through with the kidnapping of the baby of a wealthy couple in hopes to secure a hefty ransom. A kidnapping that had originally been planned mostly by his buddy and partner in crime, just months before he lost his life in a gambling game gone wrong. The book goes back and forth between Blazes' childhood and the rough times he endured and the present day and his adventure in babysitting his latest heist. Blaze is one that you won't help but carry a spot in your heart for.
I read this as a request by a good friend. I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started the book, as it wasn't seeming to get creepy as a normal Stephen King book goes. This is not a traditional Stephen King book, but the more I read, the more I loved it. I rate this book ⭐⭐⭐⭐.
