This is definately not a 'Stephen King' book.......it was technically written by 'Richard Backman'. Clayton Blaisdell, Jr. is a sympathetic character who was born into a crappy life.....because of his stark circumstances of being abused by his father as a child......he was robbed of being an intellectual and successful in his adult life. He is only a mildy retarded man who has never gotten a honest chance to have a good life and makes decisions based on past mistakes, the ghostly thoughts of his dead friend, George, and honestly just not knowing what else to do. He has a kind heart and is basically a good-natured person but falls in with the wrong crowd and they take advantage of that. The book is bittersweet and you truly feel for 'Blaze' and his situation and really hope that all will end well for him......does it?.....well......read the book for yourself and find out..... : )

I am sending this book on to a fellow reader as part of a Swap.com trade.
