Helpful Score: 3

This is a true Richard Bachman novel - there is hardly a hint of writer Stephen King would become in this book. It was actually written before Carrie. He wanted an almost "true crime" kind of novel, but it ended up not coming out that way.

Blaze is a con man who usually operates as part of a two-man team, but his friend is no longer with him, and he has to find out how to keep his life going. Just a warning to Stephen King lovers: there is little creepiness, freakiness, or simple oddities in this book that is in most of his other books. But it is oddly endearing, and still a page-turner.
