My Rating: 5 Stars
Here’s why!
I am really starting to love Stephen King. (I know, get with the program!) I picked up his newest release this summer on a family vacation and am very thankful to now own my first Stephen King novel.
Billy Summers is an ex-Marine sniper whose is now a hitman, but he has one stipulation: is the person he killing a bad guy? With one last job to go, Billy finds himself digging deeper and deeper into the details of who, what, when, where, and why unlike every before. And the biggest question is: has he gone too far? What will be brought up will affect him unlike ever before in this epic Stephen King novel.
***
The first half of this book was pretty easy to read, but there was a chunk in the middle that I was like “where is the rest of this book going to go? What’s happening now?” But I kept chugging along, trusting King, and he tied it all up so well at the end. I think I am learning that with these massive/chunkier books of his, even if the story feels like it is beginning to wander, I can trust he will find his way back and it will make sense!
I am giving this book 5 Stars because of the storytelling, the characters, and the fact that it’s well-crafted Stephen King. I honestly have not gone wrong yet with one of his and I am thankful I have so many left I can check out!
I grew to really enjoy the character of Billy Summers and I think you will, too! Give it a try today!
HAPPY READING 🙂
