132 pages, Borrowed from Mobile Library (I'm sorry I didn't take a picture while I was there, having used it I have decided I'd like to live in a Mobile Library!)
I borrowed 2 Stephen King books at the same time, "Full Dark, No Stars" and "Blockade Billy".I have previously shared my thoughts on the first book (Great) and now I move onto the second (Not so good)
Maybe it was the baseball theme (Baseball is not big in Ireland, the closest thing we have is Rounders but that's not really popular as a national sport either) or maybe it was just the story but either way I thought it was a below par effort.
It isn't a large book and there's two stories; "Blockade Billy" and "Morality" so I guess it's worth the short time it takes to read.
"Morality" was better than "Blockade Billy" and had a real Twilight Zone feel about it too which was enjoyable.
All in all, it's worth a read if you're a fan of Kings but only if you're a fast reader!
I give this 3 "Spring-loaded Razor Blades" out of 5...2 for Morality, 1 for Blockade Billy.
