I didn't hate this book, but it's also one of those that didn't need to exist.
I didn't love or care for any of the characters and, upon reflection, the reader isn't given enough to justify or understand the whole hostage situation, the reactions of the people involved, or the ending.
3 ⭐️ is still a good, solid read for me. And the book was close to that because I can't deny that I was hooked at points, eagerly turning the pages to see what happened next. The main reason I docked points was because of the way the whole thing ended up. It left me going: huh?
Interesting trivia — this, and not Carrie, was King's first novel, since he wrote it in high school in 1966. On top of that, it's really hard to track down a copy of Rage these days. After a copy was found in the locker of a 1990s high school shooter, King demanded that the book be taken out of print!
