The Dead Zone by Stephen King

The Dead Zone is a brilliant read that keeps you flipping the pages. It's a fun read from start to finish.

After an accident, John Smith is given the "second sight." It is both a cursing and a blessing. It brings forth good fortunes and dooms. After a night of wins on this way home  he is in a car accident that results in a coma. Upon waking from his 4 year coma he is "gifted" with full fledged clairvoyance.

He goes on a journey that takes him from one disaster to another. He feels darkness in people and is pulled into the deepest, more frighting darkness when he comes across, presidential candidate Greg Stillson. A simple handshake gives him insight into the evil that lays in this man. Greg Stillson is apocalyptic and lures people in with this outrageous personality (cough ... cough.. much like Trump).
Greg Stillson is the biggest bad, the biggest evil and the bogeyman. John Smith has to stop it but will he succeed?

This novel is incredibly interesting. It was published in 1979 and is frighting and almost prophetic. Greg  Stillson is  Trump. This book gave me goosebumps and is probably one of my favorite reads.
