Book Reviews of Blaze: A Novel
Book Review: Stephen Kings does of Mice and Men
Summary: 4 Stars
Really reminds me of Mice and Men. I enjoyed it. Not the best book ever or the worst but was a good read.Book Review: Trite, but so full of heart, I couldn't resist
Summary: 4 Stars
I can't remember reading such a trite, manipulative novel. It almost felt as if it were being written for teens. This predictable story of a Blaze, a guy with a heart of gold who never caught a break in life and was pulled into a life of crime, was one that pulled me in in spite of my attempts to resist. If you're looking to find fault with this novel, you'll have lots of opportunities, but Blaze is such a lovable and sympathetic character, and George is a great sidekick, that I quickly gave up finding fault and just plain enjoyed this book. It's funny and crude, in a juvenile sense, and it made me smile. The book starts out in the present, as Blaze is planning his great kidnapping caper. The novel alternates between the present and the past, telling Blaze's life story. I liked both stories equally. This novel captured my heart like a 5 star book, but it felt too much like a cheap guilty pleasure for me to give it that top rating. It felt like a teenager's first attempt at writing a novel, with all the cliches. But the young writer was Stephen King, who can grab your heart with the best. If my review has not turned you off from this novel, I expect that you'll love it. I did.Book Review: Wonderful book - EXACTLY as described
Summary: 5 Stars
Wonderful item, this book is exactly as the seller described it. It will be a wonderful gift!! Thanks so much!!Book Review: Worst experience i've ever had on-line
Summary: 2 Stars
I was simply trying to buy an inexpensive copy of Blaze.
It was a very frustrating experience.
Amazon canceled my first order after a week, because the seller went out of stock. I got a refund and tried again. The 2nd seller claimed he shipped it, but the book never arrived. after 5 weeks, I got another refund (at least, I hope I got a refund) and tried a 3rd time. This time I was getting frustrated, so I ordered an expedited shipment, and finally got the Book about a week later.
I'd have to give Amazon an "F" for total failure on this order.
Happy New Year....Jim Wrench
