Status Updates From The Bachman Books

P. 383 - ‘reminding Garrity of pictures he had seen in the history books of the German air-blitz of the American East Coast during the last days of World War II.’

P.377 and following, the back-out date of April 31 is mentioned a few times. At first, I thought it was a typo, but it’s been mentioned three times in as many pages. Is this some alternate reality? Or far in the future?

Rage: 2/5. I think this book is supposed to show how a "normal" boy can be transformed by the people around him into a psychopathic, vengeful killer with no empathy for those around him. The actual story ended up feeling like a bunch of really boring short stories about a teenager looking up girl's skirts and wanting/getting sex and stories about how much he hates his dad breaking the pacing of the interesting part.
