“Thinner” By Stephen King Review

Billy Halleck, good husband and loving father, is both beneficiary and victim of the American good life: He has an expensive home, a nice family, and a rewarding career as a lawyer but he is also fifty pounds overweight and edging into heart attack country.

To be honest this book doesn’t feel like a Stephen King book maybe because Stephen King tried to write it as Richard Bachman. This book is a fiction book and not a typical Stephen King horror book. 

This book is very quick to read due to its size. But it is still enjoyable and interesting. If you are a hardcore Stephen King fan like me you all find his book a little bit unusual because as I’ve said before it doesn’t seem like a typical Stephen King book. 

The characters in this book are okay but there were something missing and they just didn’t work for me. Because they didn’t have the depth which most characters in Stephen King’s books have. There are very few characters in this book and for the most part there are good characters but none of them aren’t super memorable. 

The plot here was okay for the most part but still it wasn’t on the level with some other Stephen King level when you compare it with the books he had written under his  real name. 

The premise of the plot was interesting but the way it was presented to us was some how boring in a way. 

I Give This Book 3 / 5
