With the newest King release, Never Flinch, being the 4th book in the Holly Gibney series, I decided to start with the very first intro to Holly, which is in the Bill Hodges Trilogy, starting with this, book 1. I have them all. I just haven't read them yet.
This book had LAYERS. Lots of moving parts. Sometimes it seemed like: why are you telling us this? But King is a fantastic storyteller, and there is always a reason behind the madness. So I made an effort to remember all the little details that seemed out of sorts, the loose ends along the way, and of course, they satisfyingly wrapped themselves up.
Holly isn't introduced until well into the story. At first, I had no idea how this character could be included, let alone featured, in so many more books, but I got it in the end. I think I like her? I definitely want more of her. Jury's still out.
