The Outsider

Great story. Read the book in one night!

There was an abundance of suspenseful moments and inexplicable mysteries to be solved, all of which panned out quite satisfyingly. The characters in the book were well developed and entertaining, helping to add lightheartedness to the story. I’d say the climax could have been more terrifying but I really can’t complain given the rest of the story. This story definitely scratched my itch for a thriller/mystery.

This was a fun read. Couldn’t stop reading. Didn’t want to stop. It was fun to discover more of what this monster was with the rest of the characters. The monster was a take on the boogeyman. More so el cuco. At least that’s what it seemed since they were all relating it to el cuco. It was weird at times to think it’s a bunch of Americans taking down a Mexican legend. An old Mexican legend taken down a little too easily. Besides that, I was taken back by Sablo, the Mexican officer. The way he spoke seemed weird and out of date. He called Anderson ese. He said ay caramba. Honestly, I would have believed he was Mexican American without the Spanish. He knew the lore of el cuco and even knew about the luchadoras. That would have been enough. Holly and Anderson however were my favorite. I liked reading how they investigated and found out details. This makes me want to read the Bill Hodges Trilogy. I recommend this book if you’re thinking about reading it. It was fast and fun. One thing I appreciate about King’s writing is how it reads like a movie. The visuals and sounds are there. And every ending has its cliff hanger that leads into the next part.

Really gripping story the whole way through!

The kind of King novel you can’t put down. Up many late nights flipping madly through the pages. Great build up and character arcs. One of his best.

Didn’t want to put this one down! Gripping from the first page to the last word. A must read!

This book is weird and crazy, but it’s good.

Amazing and shocking, gruesome but couldn’t put the book down. I recommend to my friends and family

It was pretty gruesome but I loved finding another Stephen King gem that was truly worth the money 2400 pages and I read it all in less than a week!

Their have been so many bad Stephen king TV shows that I forget what an amazing writer he is! Attention to detail and phrasing is perfect! The pace of the book is even with no apparent sections of “not much going on”. A definite page tier we that makes you want to read more!
