A review by hakimbriki
Rage by Richard Bachman
3.0
Stephen King + Controversy = Curiosity.
While I understand the seriousness of the subject tackled in this book, I don't think Rage is anywhere near the best works of the author.
It is a simple, twisted and quite depressing story with a lot of shock value that lacks depth in my opinion. The narrative is engaging, which makes it a page-turner, and the protagonist is... sinister enough to keep you interested.
Overall, I would say Rage has its moments, but if you are looking for a good King story, pick another book.
