Getting it on

The Bachman books,by Stephen Kings
pgs 1-170

This book is a collection of 4 Stephen Kings early novels. He published these books under the psuedonym of Richard Bachman.The 4 stories the book contains are called "RAGE","THE LONG WALK","ROADWORK"and "THE RUNNING MAN".My impression of the book so far is a good one. I have read "RAGE" and the author delivers a well balanced amount of suspense thoughout the story with his main character Charlie Denver . A high school senior in a small town of Placerville. Charlie is a unique boy who has ... what can I say ? alot of bottled up aggression ! . Charlie is an extremley intresting specimen and soon after he takes his first murder victim(Mrs.Underwood his school teacher shot in the head inside of her classroom ....)he calmly takes the class hostage ,after announcing to the cheif of police that they were to remain out or he would take another victim(even though he tells his peers he wouldnt harm anyone) he begins slowly sharing his secrets with his peers. Gradually telling them about his dramatic chilhood that is considerably the fuel for the fire that is burning in Placerville High. He explains how his life was with his abusive war veteran father and how he was more his moters child and his father despised him for that.The awkward feelings and emotions of Charlie and his peers create an extremley sensitive setting for a group discussion wich occured students telling about their personal experiences with there teaher lying in cold blood on the floor !
