Never Flinch by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I can't say this is anything but workmanlike. I like Holly, and she's always interesting to follow.

As for the core themes, I do note that SK is quite solid on his themes, or rather, his agendas. I don't quite mind that he focuses on pro-choice peeps, putting a spotlight on pro-life reactionaries who murder others. But this isn't even the 3rd time that I've seen him go whole-hog in that direction in his novels, either, and that makes me think of an old adage that it's fine to have your pet projects just so long as the pets don't take over your house.

It's close, here. Or rather, the agenda takes an enormous amount of the spotlight. For plot reasons, mind you, but it's somewhat overwhelming. I like originality. And more AA stuff from SK is FAR from striking new ground.


That being said, it's still an enjoyable novel and quite in line with ANY mystery/thriller.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
