My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Big Driver by Stephen King

One of the novellas from Full Dark, No Stars, it tells the story of a mystery novelist named Tess who gets attacked and left for dead on her way home from a book reading.  Tess decides to take matters in her own hands to avoid the attention such media coverage would put on her life.  It’s a fun revenge story and King proves again that even with a simple and tired plot he can engage his readers.  He’s just so good at spinning a yarn, even one like this that’s pretty routine.  Grade: B+
