Book: The Dark Half
Author: Stephen King
Pages: 431
This is my 89th read for the year
This is the story of Thad Beaumont. He is a writer that once he started writing under the name "George Stark" became a best selling author. Now that he is more succesful, and a married father of two, he wants to write as himself again. So he does an article for People magazine burying George Stark.
However - George Stark will not be going quietly. Thad is accused of murder of people who are closest to him in his literary world, and when his alibi checks out, he - along with the police - start to discover who is really behind the murders. Thad knows that somehow he is responsible and only he can bring the murderer down.
This was a pretty good book. I was interested to see where it was going right from the beginning. It isn't terribly long - which is a rareity in the Stephen King world. The story keeps moving, and has a decent ending. The Epilogue was lacking - I would have liked more of what was happening with Thad in the future. Overall - a good read.
