Hello and how are you all doing? I hope all of you had a good day. I had a pretty good day. My kiddo and I went to town and did some shopping and then we came home and I did some cleaning and reading. So yeah overall I had a good day ! Now, I want to work on my blog before I go to bed so lets do this! I think this is going to be a good review because I had some pretty strong feelings about this book.
Title: Billy Summers
Author: Stephen King
Genre: I think I would say Action actually.
Pages: 528
Rating: 5 stars
Synopsis: Billy Summers is a man in a room with a gun.He's a killer for hire the best in the business. But
he'll only do the job if the target is truly a bad guy. And now Billy wants out . But first there is one last hit. Billy is among the best snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, a Houdini when it comes to vanishing after his job is done. So what could possibly go wrong? How about everything?
My thoughts on the book: At first I didn't think I was going to care to much for it but then I ended up loving it. It drew me in overtime. The more I read the better the story got.
I thought it was pretty vivid and I could picture it in my mind easily. There were some characters I didn't like right away but they grew on me like Alice for example. I didn't like her at first actually I thought she was kind of annoying but, she grew on me overtime. I did very much like the character of Billy Summers. He was interesting and he had a pretty good backstory .
One draw back to the story, was that I didn't like the Trump bashing. It somewhat took me out of the story but, only a little bit . I kind of learned to ignore it and was able to stay into the store because I cared for the characters.
The back half starts to really get good. That's where the story really picks up and it goes through a few twists and turns. Some of the major. I will say the ending was brilliant and came close to bringing a tear to my eye. It had a better ending than most of the books I have read here recently!
Something else I liked, is all of the connections in this book. This book is very much connected to the Stephen King universe and books like The Shining and The Dark Tower. Since I have read a lot of his books I really appreciated that.
Overall, I think it was one of the better books I have read this year and will for sure be on my top ten books of the year this year. I would highly recommend it because of all the very different feelings it gave me. That's why I have to give the book 5 stars!
That's it for this reading update! I have also finished reading The World's Most Haunted Places by Time Life Magazine and I will post a review for it tomorrow.
