Blaze involves Clayton Blaisdell, a powerfully built but mentally damaged (due to traumatic head injuries as a child) man, carrying out the one big crime to stay out of prison that his partner in crime, George, was planning. After George dies, Blaze does what he can to continue the plot, while also reliving key events in his past as he moves around the location that he grew up.Blaze is one of the few Stephen King books I hadn't read yet (I'm a big fan), and this one was very much in character of his writing, Richard Bachman or no Richard Bachman. Blaze is an interesting character with a good deal of depth, and the slowness that his injury causes is explored as a story event as well as a characteristic.
