As a writer myself, I thought this book was one of the most intensifying books that I have ever read. With Blood Brothers, Mr. King took mainstream fiction to a whole new level. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good mystery.

I thought Blood Brothers was one of the best books that I have read in a long time. It has everything, from sex, violence, love, and controversy. The characters were all so life-like and real. Steve J. King really put this one together.
