Blaze by Stephen King (2008, Paperback, Reprint)

Excellent book, definitely keeps you guessing. Another awesome title by the Great Stephen King as written by his counter part Richard Bachman! Loved it, you read the whole time and can't tell if he is talking to him self, a ghost, or if the voice is just from in his head! But Blaze is a character that you will hate, pity, and in the end miss! Highley recommended, if given the chance READ THIS BOOK!!!

Being a big Stephen King fan, I have read most of his books (only exception is the Gunslinger series). Although this is a novel from his earlier years, I still thought it was very good - another excellent character study. If you are a SK fan, you will not be disappointed in this.

Now, this is what I look for from Mr. King. Great character development, detailed progression of who this character is and how he became who he is. I cared about this character. I didn't want the story to end. You can see little bits and pieces of future characters throughout. John Coffey is there if you look hard enough.

This book was not horror and not science fiction but it was still beautifully Stephen King. With profound perception of the human spirit, humor and sadness, Mr. King hits the mark. I especially appreciated his comments to the "constant reader" before the story began. Although it was written years ago and he himself didn't care for it too much at that time, I thought it was well worth reading.

I LIKED the book, not loved the book. It is an earlier dust-off of King's as Richard Bachman. It is great to see some of his earlier works. This is worth checking out. It has his style, but isn't as riveting as others. Bag of Bones has to be my personal favorite. I would probably buy his daily routine if he put it down on paper.
