Another stephen King classic - if you have watched the film then you don't know the full story and REALLY need to read this book, you just learn so much more about the characters, the experiment and fall in love with the Firestarter all over again - when an innocent life is destroyed and her power a...

I haven't read much King but I've enjoyed the few I have read. This one was an interesting concept and made me think a lot of Carrie before she got to high school but overall I enjoyed it.

Stephen King at his best. With a few exceptions King isn't good at big-picture stuff. When he doesn't take the time to build up a good central character all you can focus on is the absurdity of the situation, or we get treated to a cast of people so mammoth that even over 1,000 pages gives them each...

In my memory a decent book, but I enjoyed The Shining and Misery more.
