A review by katiecatbooks
Firestarter by Stephen King
4.0
Suspense. Pyrokinesis. Government experiments.
Story: Andy Mcgee and his 8 year old daughter Charlie are on the run. Andy has psionic abilities and Charlie has some abilities of her own. The government are after them to do some tests on their own. It's a race against time and psychic powers for the two to save their lives.
Language: In typical King form, this book contains short chapters. It's told in third person from various perspectives. The setting is around the 1970's and throughout the east coast of the United States. Most of the book veers more towards the suspense / scifi genre, though horror elements make themselves clear when the plot is at its thickest.
Characters: Andy McGee is a father to young Charlie. He's also a husband, but his wife was killed by the government and the same people are after him and Charlie. Charlie is a young girl who likes books and cartoons and happens to have a psychic power of her own. Andy must use his power to protect himself and Charlie.
While not as gripping as other King books, it has an interesting premise and a solid ending.
