We can put that novel to rest. It was a good story, all things considered, and one worth reading. The story is about a man named Clayton Blaisdell Jr., a hulking man standing 6'7" and weighing nearly 300 pounds. Blaze, as he becomes known, is a bit on the slow side thanks to a savage beating he endured courtesy of his father when he was a young man. The story, a bit like From a Buick 8 in this case, alternates between history and present time telling the history of Blaze the person as your read about the major caper he is attempting to pull off.
I won't say anything more in case you are going to read the book yourself but what I can say is the story is a solid one, well written and easily digested as all King, excuse me, Bachman books are. If I had to classify this book into a traditional genera I'd call it an American Tragedy.
*** out of *****
Now, back to the enduring question which I frequently face: what do I read next?
