Über diesen Titel

 Master storyteller Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman) presents this gripping and remarkable New York Times bestselling crime novel about a damaged young man who embarks on an ill-advised kidnapping plot—a work as taut and riveting as anything he has ever written.

Once upon a time, a fellow named Richard Bachman wrote Blaze on an Olivetti typewriter, then turned the machine over to Stephen King, who used it to write Carrie. Bachman died in 1985 (“cancer of the pseudonym”), but this last gripping Bachman novel resurfaced after being hidden away for decades—an unforgettable crime story tinged with sadness and suspense.

Clayton Blaisdell, Jr., was always a small-time delinquent. None too bright either, thanks to the beatings he got as a kid. Then Blaze met George Rackley, a seasoned pro with a hundred cons and one big idea. The kidnapping should go off without a hitch, with George as the brains behind their dangerous scheme. But there's only one problem: by the time the deal goes down, Blaze's partner in crime is dead. Or is he?©2007 Stephen King; (P)2007 Simon and Schuster Inc. All rights reserved.

One of the least enthralling Bachmann novels for me. but I liked Roadwork so what do I know...
The chapters about the protagonist's childhood were nice though. the "heist" was idiotic to say the least. Really felt for the little guy

typical Bachmann novel: it triggers a strong emotional response

It was a very sad and touching story. One really gets to like Blaze as he "tumbles" through his life. The author understands well how to keep up the tension, by skipping now and then into the past for more of Blaze's background. One soon realizes that poor Blaze has a lot of good in him. The ending gave me an "it's all for the best" feeling. Well written and funny in places. I had to get used to the strong American dialect at first. But it fits to the characters.I'm glad Stephen King alias Bachmann decided to publish this book after all.

I can well recommend this story
