A review by cajunliterarybelle
Blaze by Stephen King, Richard Bachman

3.0

My first voyage into Stephen King’s works. While this isn’t exactly a horror novel, Blaze, the protagonist, is very much a horror to follow sometimes. In the beginning I simply felt like I was learning about a run-of-the-mill criminal, but I quickly realized that Blaze is psychotic and simultaneously smarter than he thinks but also an idiot. As the story progressed, I found myself laughing at his actions, his reasoning, and the investigation into the kidnapping. The book was enjoyable despite not being what I typically read.
