\"Cover<\/a><\/p>\n

The Dead Zone<\/a>. Stephen King. 1980. \u00a0This book is oddly prescient. It follows two characters. One is a young man who at times has a form of second sight when he touches some people and he can glimpse their future. The other is a career huckster , with \u00a0a vicious self importance who builds a business, then becomes sheriff, \u00a0mayor and the Congressman. At that time the young man gets to touch the Congressman and he sees a portent of the future that is terrible. The congressman bears an uncanny resemblance to Trump in his growth an actions. \u00a0This book is 37 years old. \u00a0Like other king novels, it is a galloping good read, but the story is often too close to home these days. \u00a0Soon to be a TV series.<\/p>\n
