""Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books, but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later, a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue from the ever-more deranged and vengeful Morris when he's released from prison after thirty-five years" -- provided by publisher.

great submitted by lawrencekl57 on June 12, 2015, 10:20am This book grabbed me with the first sentence. I think it's my favorite King book since "The Stand."
Good story submitted by Jhopson on August 17, 2015, 7:40pm Good story. Connected to Mr. Mercedes though it's not necessary to read that one first. A teenager finds the proceeds of a crime and it brings him more trouble than he expected.
Interesting submitted by TLW1998 on July 26, 2019, 9:08pm Jumping back and forth in time is an interesting literary technique.
