“The Outsider” Written by Stephen King

This is a novel that is one of Stephen king’s latest releases. This novel is an adventurous horror novel. The plotting of this book was great, with twists and turns throughout I totally did not expect at all. I found this book by Stephen King completely enjoyable because it threw me. I like books that present me with the unanticipated . The characters were unique and felt vividly alive in their world, and they were very interesting.

“The Outsider”novel starts off as a relatively straightforward mystery gruesome detective story. One of the main characters Terry Maitland is a rugby league coach and is perceived as a nice guy. But shortly is publicly arrested at a ball game for the rape and murder of a young boy. Several witnesses claim to have seen Terry Maitland  with the boy who has been raped, and the DNA found on the body matches toTerry. It’s an open and shut case. Until a video emerges of him in a completely different city at the time of the murder. The Detective, Ralph Anderson is ready to send Terry Maitland to death  for this crime. Ralph is the kind of cop we all hope is out there he wants to arrest the right suspect, not just a suspect He will work on a case until he finds out the truth.

In the novel “The Outsider’s” King’s writing is great it is easy to follow along which is good., His language is simple and gets to the point, letting the story tell for itself.  The conversation within the characters is also consistently excellent. The main cast are easily distinct by the word choice of King’s writing style, and even the unimportant characters, such as the witnesses, are given their own ability. Each character feels like a person rather than a cartoon character even if they only appear briefly in the book, i feel as though this gave the novel a real sense of realism. This is uncommonly seen in crime or horror book. I really believed the story King wrote.

I greatly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys horror or mystery  books that present strong options, but do not tell you all the answers, and leave the mind to wander within. It has some very graphic moments but does not initially looks into it , but more so on how it impacts the main characters.
