Time to ditch the minor leagues and show the majors what you can do for once. Johnny’s gotta take his powers to the next level. I finished one storyline and moved on to the next section, and this time Johnny has landed a new job of living somewhere else, time jumps forward a bit, and those precious events are only mentioned a few times, replaced by something even bigger this time. Having multiple plots building on each other was a little awkward at times. The rest of the book walks through events where this psychic ability becomes useful in a number of ways, ultimately leading up to a thrilling, larger-than-life climax that puts ole Johnny in a precarious situation with huge stakes, really unbelievable stakes, but, man, when you get there, who even cares anymore? This guys is magical and he’s saving the world! It was the first chapter in what ultimately becomes The Saga of John Smith, Psychic or Something. It had that Something Wicked This Way Comes vibe to it with the spinning wheel, the creepy carnival worker, and Johnny Smith pressing his luck and drawing a crowd. The first part of Stephen King’s The Dead Zone was just straight-up fun to read.
