    I'll be at BJs picking this up on the first day! I don't expect it will take long to get through it at ~300 pages!!!!! My King fix has been more than satisfied this year with the monthly adventures from marvel comics, Postscripts 10 (Graduation Afternoon), Esquire mag in two weeks with The Gingerbread Girl, Blaze in 11 days, SK Spills the Beans in Spetember, and Duma Key in January!

    Add in 1408 and The Mist movies to boot! i am a happy camper for sure!

    Man I hope I am not that busy when I retire!

    It's not as interesting as it sounds -- he's going to be holding a campout, but with the number of scouts interested, it seems inevitable that the cookout portion is going to get messy...

    Review blurb from The Independant on Sunday:
    Blaze feels like an essential missing piece in King's oeuvre, bridging the gap between the occasionally derivative, but always compelling, Bachman novels and the shocking power of Carrie.

    Interesting review. I've read the book, so there was nothing surprising in it, but I do find it interesting to note that the reviewer says the book has the "swampy, pulpy feel" of the first four Richard Bachman books. I've never seen those terms for these books before.

    This sounds to me like one of those books I'd only get to complete my collection, the synopsis doesnt really grab me for some reason...

    It's a decent read. I finished it (I had an advance proof) in less than two days. I'd have read it even faster if I'd had time to read more!
