A review by tabatha_shipley
Billy Summers by Stephen King
4.0
What I Did Like:
+Has an old-school Stephen King feel with the story within a story, sections within chapters, and strong descriptions. Plus, as I mentioned, it goes on longer than you expect and feels almost like its own sequel. That’s also classic King.
+Captivating story. Between the hired killer, the secret identities, and the secrets kept from the reader, this keeps your attention for every page.
+The ending works. At first I didn’t like it. But after I sat with it for a bit, I did. I couldn’t think of a way it could have ended better that actually worked for the character and the story. This way felt authentic for the story.
Who Should Read This One:
-Old school King fans. This has a good vibe.
-Fans of stories about assassins for hire. This goes on after you think it’s over and it works.
-Fans of vigilante justice stories.
My Rating: 4 Stars
