The Fury by John Farris
2.0
The Fury is a tough book to read, and it's going to be even more difficult to review. While it more-or-less follows the same theme of the motion picture, they are two very different beasts (think about how different The Shining book and film are and you get the idea). The last comparison I'll give of the two is where the book fleshes more of players involved out (as it should), all of the…gross parts of the novel are removed for the film.
Peter, an assassin by trade, is desperately trying to find his son, Robin, who has some wicked psychic powers. Through lies and deceit, Robin is convinced by a secret government branch (think The Shop from Firestarter) and of course they start weaponizing the boy. Oh, and there's also Gillian, a young girl born on the same day and time as Robin who has super powers as well. Naturally, they want her too. While the overall plot is simple, it does get overly dramatic and a bit convoluted at times for its own good. But that's not its problem.
