pea 's review for:

The Outsider by Stephen King
3.0

Giving this a 3 star rating solely because the first half was actually good.

but that's it. Spoiler alert, although I guess the cover gives it away, but SK doesn't make this some sort of psychological thriller, but reverts to the classic supernatural elements. Which would be fine if it didn't seem like a scapegoat. and I guess at someone who has read maybe half of King's bibliography, the themes are becoming a tad bit more repetitive.

I do genuinely wish that there was just something ELSE. but here we are.

it was.... ok.
