Never Flinch

Stephen King's new one - it's one of his crime type novels with Holly Gibney. I'm liking it well enough but the writing style is so different - it doesn't seem like it was written by Stephen King. And I've read all of his crime novels so it's not that.

Hope he kills off that Holly chick. LOL His best writing was when he did the esp powers and people with

telekinesis abilities. 'Carrie' and that kid with powers

@SharkE Oh wow - I love Holly. I get the Kindle versions of all my books. They're available on the first day of release. I've been reading SK since Carrie and I still love his stuff.

I hate to admit it and I can't remember the name of one of the most recent ones he wrote. Something to do with ghost in buggy. Twin dead boys think it was and when it came to the part where after he tried to get rid of the baby buggy, but, couldn't and he never took a look inside the buggy. Then it came to the part where he was gonna look down and see what was in the buggy knowing it was dead kids of a local woman in town who was 'loony'.

I dropped the book and wouldn't read any more !!!

I didn't want to know what was in the buggy.

Baby, baby, I'm a big baby ! I was afraid it would stick in my head. ROFLMA0

@SharkE

That was in the short story Rattlesnakes from You Like It Darker. The kids weren't actually in the buggy.

@SharkE Spoiler answer below:

Finished 'Never Flinch' and donated to library.

Holly, still isn't killed off. Hope he's tired of that character.

Book was OK. Main baddie person was crazier then a poophouse rat.

I finished it last night. It was okay but I do not plan on any more Holly books unless the reviews are through the roof.
