Billy Summers by Stephen King
4.0

Well, I have to say that Steve did it again! This is an excellent story with barely a glimpse of horror, the supernatural, gore (well maybe a touch, but not much), or any of the tags he has been labeled with. This is a crime story; a war story; a love story. This is tender and sweet; and it’s brutal and violent. These are complex characters—many of them, and not just one or two— we learn to care for, hope for, love, hate, and wish they were dead. I really enjoyed this story.

My review ratings are based upon the following:
1 Star, “I did not like it or couldn’t finish it”;
2 Stars, “I think it is just Ok, but I’ll never think about it again”;
3 Stars, “I think it is an entertaining, enjoyable book, and I’ll think about it again”;
4 Stars, “I really love this book, and I may read it again”;
5 Stars, “I think this book is excellent, I will read it again, and it will likely stand the test of time.”
