Billy Summers by Stephen King Book Summary

Master storyteller Stephen King, whose “restless imagination is a power that cannot be contained” (The New York Times Book Review), presents an unforgettable and relentless #1 New York Times bestseller about a good guy in a bad job.

Chances are, if you’re a target of Billy Summers, two immutable truths apply: You’ll never even know what hit you, and you’re really getting what you deserve. He’s a killer for hire and the best in the business—but he’ll do the job only if the assignment is a truly bad person. But now, time is catching up with him, and Billy wants out. Before he can do that though, there’s one last hit, which promises a generous payday at the end of the line even as things don’t seem quite on the level here. Given that Billy is among the most talented snipers in the world, a decorated Iraq war vet, and a virtual Houdini when it comes to vanishing after the job is done, what could possibly go wrong? How about everything.

Part war story and part love letter to small-town America and the people who live there, this spectacular thriller of luck, fate, and love will grip readers with its electrifying narrative, as a complex antihero with one last shot at redemption must avenge the crimes of an extraordinarily evil man. You won’t ever forget this stunning novel from master storyteller Stephen King…and you will never forget Billy.

A Good Read. One of the best books I’ve read

Billy summers. Well it has to be one of my favorites….. I was a little skeptical of Stephen King considering some of his other works that I have read… But this was incredible… Twists and turns up to the very last end… Definitely a must read!

Billy Summers. At first I couldn’t get into this book, but my husband told me to keep going. I’m sure glad I did!! I loved it and couldn’t put it down!

Kill for hire. 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.

One of his best!. I’ve read probably 90% of Stephen King’s books and love his work. I have to honestly say this is one of his best books he has ever written. I literally couldn’t put it down. Thank you Mr. King for the gift you have and your ability to share it with the world.

Wonderful. 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.

Great book all the way through!. Another great story by my favorite author. He’s still got it!! Love you, Stephen King!

fantastic. ignore the Trump trolls bashing the book. Most of them can’t even read. Great book! King at his best! Trump lost by 7 million votes!!! eat it Donnie

Brilliant !!!!. Just brilliant. It had it all.

Billy Summers. Brought tears to my eyes at the end. Great book looking forward to the next Stephen King book.

A gift. A well written story. Good writing and a reader can often be the great escape.

Stephen King does it agaim. I always enjoy reading Stephen King’s novels. His writing is very easy to process and very expressive. This was a beautifully written story of love and trauma and growth that engages the reader quickly and easily.

LOVED IT. Wow, this was a great read. Memorable characters and exciting story. Mr. King is a wonderful story teller and he delivers with Billy Summers! One of his best. Loved it!

Why Does Everything Have To Be So Political. I am a huge King fan, so I find it so disappointing that he has to spew liberal nonsense into the story. Just write a great book like you used to without pushing your views on me. King is pushing away half of his fans by doing this.

Surprising not surprising. I’ve read most of Mr. Kings books stories and seen the movies. This was a surprisingly good read and I’m not surprised. I’ve just been (with the lock downs, social distancing and such) reading some of his books I have but never got to as well as rereading old friends. This is a nice change of topic and it has just a brush and a nod another of his books but doesn’t quite go there. It was a page turner and as sleep would take me each night I would begrudgingly set my iPad down and look forward to the next nights treat.

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

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

So good. Such a great read. The story flows so well.

Politics. It’s unfortunate that so many writers, musicians and actors feel the need to force their political opinions on the rest of us. I’ve noticed that it’s only the liberals that are so inclined. I personally believe celebrities should keep their political opinions private. I’ve quit reading books by these authors or watching these actors who can’t keep their politics out of their public creations. I now wait and read reviews before purchasing their products.

A masterpiece. Brilliantly written. I hope King writes. Ore fiction devoid of monsters and supernatural events. He is one of the great American writers and novels like this should be in his future.

He’s back!. I liked this one as much as his older novels

Greatness. Another example of his story telling genius. Loved it. The characters and the journey they took. A bad man with a heart of gold. Also love the cameos in true King fashion.

A waste of time. I haven’t read a Stephen King book in a long time, but a best selling author and all I thought I’d give it a try. What a bad call. This is a terrible book. Word pulp. The writing is just fine but the characters and the plot you could care less about. Then there are these weird flashbacks to Afghanistan to tie in the main character’s writing ambitions. And the implausible scenario that has a professional assassin depending on an iPhone app to sight in a rifle to be used to make a five hundred yard shot. Really? That is plain lazy writing. The best thing about the book is the reference to a book by Emile Zola. Save yourself some time and buy “Theresa Raquin” instead.

Twists and Turns. Interesting story with twists and turns make it a fun read.

W book. Like I said, W book.

Great story!!!. Loved this book!

Such a great story with a really good climax.. 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.

Casual Reader. I haven’t read a book all the way through since 6th grade I’m a HS senior and I finished this book in 2 weeks. Best book I’ve ever read I’d sell my soul to read for the 1st time again.

Good not great. It’s a good book to read with some good action and great detail but it lacks in creativity. Follows what I think is the typical pattern for stories like this. I did enjoy it but it lacked a bit for me to be wowed. Not King’s best but not his worst either. Just good.

A Good Story. Good story but a little heavy on insults to conservatives.

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

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

Billy Summers. Great book. Not at all what I expected from a Stephen King book. Very sad when it ended as I had to put the book down. I hope they make it into a movie someday.

He does it again. By far, on of the best reads! King does it every time! Captivating me from the first chapter till the last…

Not bad not great. A decent book by Stephen King. I’ve read them all and to me it’s average. First third or so is a bit slow then it gets much more interesting.

Billy Summers ROCKS. King at his very best. Plus, it’s a unparalleled advanced fiction writing tutorial.

Tried but….. While I appreciate the very detailed and intricacies attached to locations, I felt it was overwhelming. Got to chapter 5 and gave up.

Loved it!. Lots of unexpected right turns, but enjoyed each and every one. Great book.

Vigorously addictive read. 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.

Magnificent.. 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.

Go Yanks. Excellent read Mr. King at his best !

Great book. 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!

Tear-Jerker. Tear-jerker with super unexpected ending. I got very attached to the characters in this story

King at his best, once again... This was an outstanding Book ! I couldn’t put it down! Stephen King is a Master ! Thank You Sir for this great story.. G.Wade

Not his best not his worst.. Not his best not his worst. No ghosts or supernatural just a story about a hitman and a girl. Good pacing, predictable story and a couple great characters.

Wonderful story telling!. Stephen King at his best. A deviation from his traditional scary horror stories, with a faint hint of the past sprinkled in, Billy Summers is a true story of life and self discovery. This action packed story will keep you coming back for more!

Best I have read in a long, long time!. This book has it all! An absolute must read. I can’t wait for the movie!

Stephen king is always amazing.. I just started reading books and I can’t enough of Stephen king and I must say this is one of my favorites!

This book is frustrating. I’m not done with the book yet, I just got to chapter 16. But every time I say “after this chapter I’m gonna stop for the night and go to sleep” King ends the chapter on a cliff hanger that makes you not want to put the book down! I have lost sleep because of this book! But that’s okay because it’s so worth it. Please buy this book. You won’t be disappointed

Average at best. Very disappointed in this book. Little tension, dull characters, and predictable storyline. I think Mr King got the benefit of the doubt with the reviews because of his successful career in other genres.

Great Read. Stephen King is an excellent writer, so you can be assured this is a masterfully written novel. But this story sets this book apart from the Stephen King classics. It steadily grew on me, the book happily continuing the story on past points where it could have ended…where it could have easily been just a satisfactory novel. The conclusion was moving in a quiet, thoughtful way. Highly recommend. The story starts well and its depth of feeling increases as you read on.

Loved it. King is amazing

Brilliant. King’s best work in years.

Billy Summers. Awesome read. Very much enjoyed it. Thank you again SK!

I want more….. What a fantastic book. I couldn’t stop reading. The characters become your friends. Beautifully written.

Really good. I’ve read many of King’s books and have always been unhappy with the fact that he often includes a supernatural element to his stories that I find ridiculous and fantastical. It ruins the story for me a lot of the time. This one has a tiny hint of that, but it’s not a horror story or a police procedural and I enjoyed it very much. I will say that the end dragged on a bit, but it wasn’t a deal breaker for me. Definitely his best IMHO
