Review of The Outsider by Stephen King

 Long live the King!

This is a review of the unabridged audio version – I walk my dog and listen to books.

I loved this story. It had not only great storytelling but both realistic as well as the paranormal. What I mean by that is that I was half way through the story before the supernatural was even indicated. Up until that part, it was a detective story.

In the story, a child is brutally assaulted and all evidence points to the town’s popular and respected baseball coach. With both DNA and eye witness evidence, it is an open and shut case. But this is Stephen King and nothing is what it seems.

A master of suspense, King brings this spills and thrills. He eve brings back a character from a past story who plays a major spot. I had not read the previous story and will heading that way very soon.

Without giving away the ending, I found that it followed the logical ending of the story line but not the high, action part that we are use to. But I still can appreciate it and can honestly say I enjoyed the entire story.
