Although this book was very well written I was disapointed by the lack of the depth most of Stephen King's work usually contains. I should not have been that surprised because of how small the book was yet I was still expecting more. I also thought that this book seemed a little too much like an earlier work by Stephen King titled Thinner.

A New Look into a Killers Eyes
I have been a Stephen King fan for a very very long time. But it has been a while since a book like this has come out and kept me wanting to keep reading it till it was done. I am not the biggest reader of book and it can take me awhile to finish them. I tend to spend more time watching tv and movies over reading. This book though kept me on the edge of my seat.

This book really went to a place most crime novels don't go to and that is a story about a retired detective on the verge of suicide. I feel like most retire cops go into something else and not just sit around all day. But he is pulled out by a case that got away, which is a good motivator. The one and done type of killer is very rare as well. Usually these types of psychos always go out for more. I don't know if it was lack of drive which most killers don't have or patience which he seemed to have a lot of. It was definitely different.


I can't wait to read the next 2 books in the series and watch the TV show to see how it compares. Until next time, enjoy the read.
