I appreciate that this novel exists. I don’t appreciate having to endure its story. If you read this not knowing who Bachman was, I don’t think you’d ever be able to guess it was King behind the typewriter. It is so disparate from everything else he has ever written in style and tone that it is completely unrecognizable. This includes all the other Bachman books, which might be distinct in style, but were still recognizable in shape and language. This sits among my least favorite King books, and I’ve read 62 of them to date.

Character I Loved & Hated
