The best book of SK’s I have ever read. This will be a a book I will never forget and enjoying again in my older years. Thanks Stephen King. What a ride it was indeed.

The first third of the novel was original and exciting. The story pushes forward on a collision course with an event that keeps you riveted along the way. The middle section slows down quite a bit and is filled with war flashbacks that seemingly have no place in the storyline. The last third picks back up again as the main character is on a mission, marching toward what is likely a disastrous end. King is a masterful author and there’s no question that the character development, writing and story concepts are top rate. Unfortunately, this book felt like three separate stories threaded into one. It wasn’t entirely natural or organic. In the end, I would still recommend the book and if they made this one into a movie like many of King’s other books I would absolutely watch it. Good read that could’ve been great.

I think that Stephen King is the best writer that I have ever read. And yes, I have read Shakespeare. That man, King, is a genius as far as I’m concerned. He is talented beyond anyone’s expectations and believe you me, I have read a lot of novels in my 78 years of life. I have read at least 80% of all of the novels that Stephen king has ever written and I would say that this is the absolute best! Thank you Stephen King for a week of the best “summer “ (pun intended) reading I have ever done!

A compelling enough story. I eagerly consumed the whole thing like a greasy plate of junk food. I was hoping for some insider cool info on the life of an assassin. Instead it felt like a story written by an out of touch old man who did his research by reading Wikipedia for 15 minutes. And some details felt very out of date: who still carries photos in their wallet? The characters’ use of technology seemed unrealistically out of date. But I willingly read the whole thing. Now I feel the need to go on a reading diet with a bit more artistry to it.

You can always count on a really great story from Stephen King.

First half was slow reading. Overall, not too bad except for the political references.

Billy summers is a man shaped by a difficult past, remolded through the marine corps he became a sniper in the fight against the terrorist over seas. Using his experience there, he picked up killing bad guys for money here in the states. During one job, he met Alice a women who was brutalized and had fallen in front of his doorstep from a tragic event. Their encounter was abrupt, but he is able to help her through her trauma and indirectly learns allot about himself through their journey together. Read it, you won’t regret it.

Good story but a little heavy on insults to conservatives.

I liked this one as much as his older novels

Like I said, W book.

It’s been over 35 years since I started my SK journey from Pet Sematary and IT, through the Towers, and so many more to Billy Summers; it just gets better and better. Such a great book and so easy to read.

I preordered this book. When it came out , I procrastinated. Yes, I should have read it two years ago but I’m glad that I read it finished it this year. Billy Summers is such a great novel. It’s truly one of Stephen King’s best stories. Mind you I’ve read 17 since 2014. The first was Mr. Mercedes. Billy Summers is a hit man who decides to take on last job. That job is supposed to be easy but it’s anything but. Another character that I liked is a woman named Alice. She was brave and helpful. Also. Bucky was pretty cool. I can’t wait to read Holly. That’s coming pretty soon. I hope that Alice pops up again.

Excellent read Mr. King at his best !

Absolutely loved it! Once again, thank you Stephen King for a great ride!

The book moved at a good pace. Didn’t get slow or uninteresting at all, which is nice. Billy and Alice are good relatable characters that kept my attention on the book. I Really enjoyed this one!

I have been reading Stephen King novels since the 80’s. This is my favorite

What an amazing book. His writing pulls you in and honestly puts you in this world. I loved this book. The nod to his earlier books was delitful.

This was one of the best S K novels that I’ve read in many years.. Signed: Steve Molitor Centerport, NY

One of the most glorious reads I’ve taken from Stephen King. Hopefully If this ever gets picked up for an adaptation, that ‘they’ keep Bill Summers story as is.
