He¿s filled with problems, Roadwork

Roadwork by Stephen King. Is a book that will keep you interested and make you want to keep reading to see what happens. The main character, Bart Dawes, narrates the book and is in man difficult situations, which he brought on himself. Dawes is happily married to his wife Mary, who does not work. Bart has a job at the Blue Ribbon, a dry cleaning business. There is one main problem, the road on which Bart and Mary live, and the area where the Blue Ribbon sits, is in the way of the 784 extension highway that is going to be built. The book starts on November 20, exactly two months before Bart and Mary have to be out of their house. The Blue Ribbon was planning on being relocated, but because Bart never signed the papers for the new place in time, everything was dropped and Bart was out of a job. However, that wasn't the only thing Bart forgot to do. He also forgets to find a new house. When Mary finds this out she leaves him. Bart considers suicide because of all his troubles. The house filled with so many memories does not want to be left by Bart. What will Bart do about his house, wife, and job? Will he survive? This book is pretty good because of the way King expresses Bart's feelings, and I recommend it to be read by others. - an Amazon customer review
