Susanne’s Review:
Quite the Tale!
Billy Summers is gripping, entertaining, somewhat surprising, and yet, somewhat predictable.
What I loved:
The character of Billy. Brilliant, sweet, kind, and as honest as he can be, given his career choice.
Alice Maxwell. What a surprise she turned out to be.
The friendship that developed between Billy & Alice.
The nod to The Shining. The Overlook Hotel will never be forgotten.
What I didn’t love:
The War Stories. I get that the point of this was to explain Billy’s background but given everything going on in the world and in my life personally, I found these passages to be wholly depressing and I felt that they just made the story drag on and on.
On the whole, I enjoyed Billy Summers quite a bit and even though it won’t make it into my list of favorite Stephen King books, I loved the character-driven plot and adored Billy, Alice and Bucky too. If you’re a fan of Stephen King I’m sure this one will be a winner for you as well!

I’ve been wondering about this book. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I don’t like long passages about war stories either.

It was good Wendy but those parts were a bit tough for me. Someone else I know read it right before me though and really liked it those passages included. I think with everything going on in the world it just made it a bit harder.. I’d love your thoughts on it for sure!

I have this sitting on my bedside table Susanne. I love Stephen King but for some reason can’t bring myself to open the cover on it. One day I will get the urge and pick it up – that’s the way it works with this author and I. 🤷♀️❤📚
