September 2013’s SK Flavor of the Month - Blaze

Rolling right along, the September book-of-the-month is a Bachman book: Blaze.

I'm going to start reading this today!

I just realized I never posted what I thought of Blaze. It was a very touching story and I loved it! After I finished it I added Stephen King as a favorite author.

I knew nothing about this one going into it, based on the title and cover picture I thought it was going to be another "car" book like Christine or From A Buick 8. I also thought it would just be a stepping stone on my way to bigger and better SK books but I couldn't have been more wrong! I flat-out loved it, and as a Steinbeck superfan I particularly appreciated the Of Mice And Men homage. The chapters that flashed back to Blaze's upbringing were the best parts of the book I thought, although the book as a whole was fantastic.
