The Outsider is a very dark book that doesn't hold back on discussing the dark things that happen as the main character works for/with the police. Especially the scenes discussing what happens to the children in the book involve details of rape and murder. This is not a book for people easily disturbed or mental traumatized to casually jump into.hopper's review against another edition

And I really feel like he could have gone into the mind of Frank (I think his name was Frank anyways) while he was in his coma. I would have loved to see king’s take on the mind of a coma patient who tried to kill them-self.

Kings' ability for strong characterisation shines here, and I was surprised by how likeable most characters are. It had great writing all throughout, and an emotional ending that caught me unawares.
This might not be the best King novel, but I really, <i>really</i> enjoyed it.
