Damn. I was pretty disinterested in reading Firestarter because I thought it might be too similar to Carrie but I was wrong. Yes, similar elements but completely different take on the material and beautifully layered, especially when it came to Andy and Charlie’s father/daughter relationship. I really enjoyed this King novel and am starting to think the 80s produced his best work. Shame we’ve yet to get a really good big-screen adaptation of this classic story.
