I have to admit I did not resonate with this book at all. I loved Desperation and this was not for me. I rarely like a book he publishes under the Bachman name, only 2 of his novellas are things that I like. Weird right? It is like he writes stories differently as Bachman, but still Stephen King.

Did you enjoy his Bachman book the long walk? I have it on my TBR to read and don't know if its good or not.

Blaze is one of the lesser known Bachman novels, perhaps you would enjoy that one. In response to Amber: I love The Long Walk, but it is very different from Stephen King's normal books.

It was fascinating. I know people who say they don't like it, but I think that story is one worth reading, plus it's a novella and it would be easy to read. I hope you like it.

I am willing to give it a read, but it's not real high on my list at this time. Thanks for the recommendation!
I don't think they started selling til folks found out he was King.
This wasn’t one of my favorites either.

I have read several novels by King and I can honestly say this is one of his worst novels to date. I am half way through it and totally lost.
I don't remember if I read any of his Bachman stuff. I usually just get the stuff with his own name. Even though I'm struggling reading the outsider.
I greatly enjoyed "Richard Bachman's" The Running Man.
Doesn’t seem to be one of his best, but still like the Bachman books. The long walk in particular is a favorite of mine.

It's not a general favorite.
Albert Elnen wrote: "I don't remember if I read any of his Bachman stuff. I usually just get the stuff with his own name. Even though I'm struggling reading the outsider."Albert, King wrote 4 novellas under the Bachman name before he was really famous and 2 of them are good. The Long Walk is one of my favorite stories. I love it. Running Man is pretty good too. otherwise, I don't care for Bachman. I haven't read Blaze yet, so I will find out later about that one.
