Billy Summers

And I got sucked in.

It kind of reminded me of Stephen King's book, Billy Summers.

Do you remember the one about the assassin? I do

remember that very well.

And

dealing with them the best that they could.

I think Billy Summers had a bit more mental acuity than Logan, but Logan has been through a whole lot.

That's right.

Isn't it King?

It was Stephen King's Billy Summers and it was amazing.

It's about internet hate organizations that she infiltrates.

That's why they had to hold it because they wanted to wait for internet hate groups to be really at their peak.

I'm, I'm gonna read it.

Uh, and Billy Summers is another one that I didn't-

Ooh, that's-

... get to.

Billy Summers was great.

But, uh-

Billy Summers is, is super good

... again, not because I'm keeping away from it, I just, you know, I-

Colorado Kid, yeah.

What about Billy Summers?

I haven't g- That's my-

If I read that now, I'll be, uh-

Um, so that one's really good.

And the other one is Billy Summers-

Hmm

... which I think was inspired partly from 11/22/63, which was his novel about, um-

So he discovers time travel, he goes back into the past, he kind of experiments with if I do something in the past, what does that mean for the future? And once he realizes he can do this, um, he goes back and he tries to prevent, um, the Kennedy assassination.

Hmm.

And so Billy Summers takes the story of a hitman, um, a sniper who's hired for a job.

And I think one of the things Stephen King does really well is the setup, which often seems slow, but that's how he builds suspense.

You have Joyland, which is great.

Later, Billy Summers.

So he's still pumping out really great stuff.

But I think you're right that there's...

it stood out to me as a modern day Stephen King classic, you know, and, and you know, there's hits and misses with, uh, with some of his, his, his later work, you know, the, um, Never Flinch, I think, is a miss.

For me, Billy Summers.

Billy Summers was not for me.

I don't know if it was for anyone.

That one was a miss for me.
