'You're a firestarter honey....just one big zippo lighter'
A year ago, he was an upstanding instructor of English at Harrison State College. Now Andy is on the run with his daughter. A pigtailed girl named Charlie. A girl with an unimaginably terrifying gift.
A gift which could be useful to corrupt authorities. Soon Charlie will be caught up in the menace of a fateful drug experiment and a sinister government ploy . . .
Let the reader beware: FIRESTARTER is Stephen King at his most mesmerising . . . and menacing.

MY REVIEW
What I loved about this story... This was such a wild ride. You have the father and daughter (Andy and Charlie) who are on the run. Not only did his wife (deceased) have special abilities but so does Andy and Charlie. The best part, for me, was following Charlie as she discovers her powers and learns to use them. Not only does she seem to be good but she seems to be better than most. The drug experimental part of the story was really only a small part of what interested me. For me, it was all about the characters and how they developed throughout the story (especially Charlie) that made this great.
Would I recommend... Definately! I don't think this is necessarily horror, but more thriller and science fiction mixed up together as one.
