Summary: 5 stars for enjoyable reading
Review: I couldn't put this book down. It is very fast-paced and has interesting and exciting characters. I'm a King fan, but I enjoy some of his books much more than others. Firestarter is near the top of my list of his shorter novels, its just so readible, no trudging through long sections of boring histories which distract from the tale like some of his longer works. This one is pure story. The book starts out with Charlie and her dad on the run, which starts you off right away interested.

Summary: A pretty good book even though quite predictable...
Review: As a result of the government's experiments on some college students with some sophisticated drugs, many got psychic powers. Two of these people eventually marry, and have a daughter the government would really like to get its hands on... This is one of Stephen King's books that really made me think whether stuff like that really happened out there... Even though the plot wasn't that much of a surprise, I couldn't put it down long enough for a VERY important exam...

Summary: Best Example of Kings Prime
Review: I always consider Stephen Kings writing career to be in two phases. Before and after "It". After "It" I feel the author has floundered, with the exception of one or two books. Firestarter, is King at his prime and is a perfect example of why he is one of the most iconic authors of our generation. It reads fast, the characters are well developed and you cannot put the book down to save your life. This is essential reading for anyone who is a Stephen King fan. What's amazing is how multi dementional Charlie is. You cannot help having protective (almost parental) feelings toward this eight year old girl who has the power to incinerate anything in her way. A feat that would have bombed if handled by a less talented author. It would not surprise me if King used Iago from Othello as a basis for Rainbird. He is a highly intellegent, very lethal adversary that's feared even by his own peers. But is reasons for doing what he does, like Iago, are never fully explained. He's just "The Bad Guy" and is very effective in this story. This is a perfect example of the "older" King books and before, in my opinion, he was concerned about being paid by the page.

Summary: Not one of his best.
Review: Although I read the book in a couple of days, it was more in the hope that the ending would have a twist or something entertaining would happen. This book didn't grab me very much. It was basically up and down like a yo-yo. One second being very entertaining but the next, just blah!

Summary: Firestarter
Review: I found that Firestarter was one of none scary books by Stephen King. I think this is one of the best of his books. Charlie and Andy were described greatly, and I felt I knew them completely.
Rating:
Summary: pretty cool
Review: Most of the book was pretty good but some parts just progressed too slowly. Towards the end, it reminded me of Carrie a lot because both are fast-paced. I love how things that happened in a whirl of events that seemed to cause so much fear and confusion.

Summary: A Real Thriller
Review: Charlie McGee is a little girl much like any other little girl. The only problem is, She has the unnatural ability to cause a fire to start anytime, anywhere she wants. Now on the lamb with her dad, hiding from evil government agents what is going to happen. If your used to King's horror stories this one isn't. It is a real thriller that belongs on the shelf with authors such as Robin Cook and Dean Koontz. For all of you folks who immediately turn a book away when you see the name Stephen King thinking it's just another blood and guts horror novel. Think again, this one isn't. I read this book in one evening. It will grip you from the very beginning and won't let go until that last word on that last page has been read.
Rating:
Summary: Good, but not his best.
Review: An enjoyable summer read, but not Mr. King's best book. Better ones are The Green Mile, The Shining, and any of the Dark Tower series. If you enjoyed the idea of genetically gifted children, you might also want to check out james Patterson's "When the Wind Blows".
Rating:
Summary: Great Book! Makes you think.
Review: This book basically explains how important family really is. I thought this book was very creative and interesting. During times I had to stop and think, "Could this really happen?". Great book. I would recommend this novel tell the end.
Rating:
Summary: Awesome book!
Review: I am 14 years old, and as most of you know it takes a really good book to keep a teenager interested. My teachers at school had to continuously remind me not to read in class. Although it is Stpehen King, it is not scary, although the part where the dude commits suicude by sticking his hand down the garbage disposal is a little disturbing. If you like suspense, I really really suggest that you read this book!
