Week Twenty Two: The Outsider


Been a while since I read a King book, and I don't generally read horror OR supernatural. BUT he's a bloody good writer and this is no exception. Finished the 500 odd pages in 4 days, and if I hadn't been busier I may have finished it in two.

Gripping and engaging, still weaves a fairly solid narrative and draws you in with well thought out characters and rarely feels like you don't know who is talking in a conversation, a rare skill I always have problems with as a reader and a writer.

If you like King then this is a no-brainer. It does start quite horrifically so if you're of a more delicate sensibility, just take my word for it.
