Blaze is the lead character. The story current story of his criminal undergoing unfolds alongside the filling in of his personal history. I found my feelings toward him ever-changing. He's simple-minded and has had a hard life and is caught up is a major crime. For me this was engrossing and sad. It...
Aided by the voice of his dead friend George in his head, a slow goliath named Blaze kidnaps an infant and holds him for ransom. Can Blaze hold things together long enough to collect the ransom?Blaze is a straight up crime book from Stephen King, aside from the voice of George in Blaze's head, which...
How this isn't one of King's most beloved works is beyond me. Maybe because it's not a horror novel at all. It's more like Of Mice And Men ripped through an old school crime novel. Beautiful and funny and sad. It's more touching than most of what King's written and more than a little tragic. I l...
I picked this book up, never having read any "Richard Bachman" or Stephen King books based on the good reviews on GoodReads. I read the first 7 chapters and just couldn't get into it.

This was a bit of a return to the old classic King, sans monsters and gore. It's a novel King wrote 30-odd years ago, then rediscovered and polished up and released as the last of his Bachman books. Ironically, I found it to be one of the better stories of his I've read recently, but I always have h...
This was a quick and easy read with King's usual macabre twists. If half stars were allowed, I'd give it 3 and a half. I enjoyed this revenge story that steams out of control, although, I must admit that the end was a tiny bit predictable. Still, worth reading. 'Thinner' raises questions about righ...
After reading King's foreword I thought I wouldn't like it, but it ended up being one of my favorite of his .. or Richard's ;) Enjoyed it and kept my interest from the beginning. I miss Blaze already.
