What to expect
A year ago, he was an upstanding instructor of English at Harrison State College. Now Andy is on the run with his daughter. A pigtailed girl named Charlie. A girl with an unimaginably terrifying gift.
A gift which could be useful to corrupt authorities. Soon Charlie will be caught up in the menace of a fateful drug experiment and a sinister government ploy . . .
Let the reader beware: FIRESTARTER is Stephen King at his most mesmerising . . . and menacing.

It's by Stephen King and its about a young girl who can start fires with her mind. Her father also has some unusual talents, roll in a whole bunch of not very nice people and stir everything together.
Result is a fantastic listen that is difficult switch off.
This story just gallops along without flagging, no lulls, no dragging the tale out.
Great from start to finish.Hojohns 2023-09-14
