Billy Summers - Book Review

 Billy Summers is the latest Stephen King book. 

This one has mostly nothing supernatural (not that unusual for him, of course) - the main character (Billy Summers) is an assassin (sniper), who only kills bad people, and who got a job that seems a little weird...

There is even a girl that was attacked that the assassin saves, which no doubt reminds you of a dozen other cases (for me, it is The Professional that comes to mind first).

It's certainly nothing out of the ordinary as big plot points go, but as it was very well written, it was very enjoyable, and one of the rare cases lately where I really have to work at it to not skip sleep to read another chapter.

There are some references to the shining, but they are minimal and have no real importance to the story.

It ends fairly, and featured a double ending. This immediately reminds me of The Dark Tower's ending, but this one manages to fit well instead of sounding like an author comment.

Overall, very good. Much better than the last Stephen King book I read - Later, which was just ok.
