Finally, I've read this elusive novel!The first thought I had after reading this was: It's a shame this book is no longer in print.The reason it was removed from print, by request from Stephen King himself, is because the novel was found in the locker of Michael Carneal, a bullied boy who opened fire on students at Heath High School in 1997. Under the assumption that the book partly inspired the school shooting, the book was pulled from print.Given the sensitive nature of the novel, I canAfter thinking a lot about how to rate and review "Rage", the first novel Stephen King published under his pseudonym Richard Bachman, I still have no clue what to think of this (really short) novel. "Rage" is not available anymore as King decided to take it off the market since it was feared the novel would inspire people to run amok, and due to the socially relevant and interesting subject this novel deals with, I was very interested in reading the actual text.

RAGEWhile he was a senior in high school Stephen King began a novel called, Getting It On. In the intro to a collection called, The Bachman Books, (four novels king originally published under the pen name Richard Bachman) King says he found the manuscript moldering away in a box in the basement of his home in 1970.

King taps a mighty strong vein in this one. Originally entitled Getting It On, this early effort of the master, while less
This book is the first that Stephen King published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman in 1977. It deals with a high school student's descent into mental illness. Charlie Decker has inner demons...and when they break to the surface he takes a gun to school. There were warning signs.....he had behavior issues, trouble at home with his overbearing father, and assaulted a teacher so badly the man almost died. As he faces expulsion from high school and being sent to a reform school, Charlie breaks.
Holy hell, I had no clue what I was getting into with this one. I am a SK lover and Kings earlier Richard Bachman books are some of my favorites. (read The Long Walk and The Running Man if you havent) I happened upon this one rather randomly and couldnt stop reading it. It is out of print, for reasons that will be absolutely clear by the time you are done reading the next paragraph. (SK and his publisher both agreed that it was for the better)Written in 1977, Rage starts of with a bang (pun
