Product Description:
#1 bestselling master of suspense...
They're tearing down Bart Dawes's home, leveling his memories, and destroying his past, all for a new highway extension. Funny what that kind of progress can do to a man. Scary, too.

There are four books inside the Bachman Books; Roadwork is the weakest of the four. That being said, early Stephen King is good Stephen King. It's lean and mean, written with a tone that isn't so much trying to scare you as it is trying to hurt you. And I love that about King. It's the--screw you reader, take it and shut up--that I love about early King. It might not be the best work he has done, but it's still better than 99% of everyone else. If you love early King, read it.

Stephen King (writing as Richard Bachman) tackles the anti-hero with Bart Dawes, who paves a path to self-destruction through a series of deviant actions that - in his mind - may prevent a highway from paving over his home.
The psychology of Dawes is painted by King in rich colors that become more and more smeared as his goal becomes more focused, yet more ridiculously unobtainable.
That Dawes is driving himself down a dead-end road - with the guidance of several others ... Read More

Barton George Dawes has sunk deep roots. He's worked at the same commercial laundry plant for 20 years, and lived in the same house for nearly as long. But the city has plans to extend a highway that will force the destruction of both places. Dawes has apparently been losing his grip on sanity for the past three years when his young son died of brain cancer. George buys a high-powered rifle as well as a .44 magnum handgun. He manipulates things at work so that the company ends up with nowhere to ... Read More

It's hard for me to give any King book less than 4 stars, but this just wasn't my kind of novel. I think he was trying to show us the inner battle inside this troubled character, but it just wasn't something I could get into. I just couldn't wait to hurry up and finish it. It's not poor writing (again, LOVE STEPHEN KING) but I would recommend dozens of his other books before I would recommend this one.
If you're looking for a phenomenal Stephen King novel, I would strongly recommend "IT."
