My report is on the book Fire Starter by Stephen King. The book's literary genre is fiction. I picked this particular book to read because I like to read scary stories, and I like the author, Stephen King. I have read some of his other books, too.

The main character of this book is Charlie McGee. She is a little girl who has the incredible power to start fires. I liked Charlie because she is a nice girl, who doesn't want to use her powers to hurt people. Actually, she just wants to try to live a normal life with her father, who has telekinetic powers because he got paid to go through some experiments when he was in college. Charlie is 8 years old in the book, and she is pretty, with blonde hair and brown eyes. When she gets mad, she can start fires. Her parents tested her once in the kitchen, and she burned a piece of toast and her mother's hand, and they knew she was special. She has a lot of confidence, and I liked that in her, too.

A didn't like that she can't control her power, it made her scarier to me, and I didn't want to think of her as scary, I wanted to think of her as nice. I also didn't like how she was too trusting. Sometimes she trusted people too much, and it seemed kind of silly, considering that she had been kidnapped and her mother was killed by the people who are coming after her. She trusted John, and he turned around on her. It made her seem weak, and I did not think she was a weak person.

The antagonists of this book are the bad people from the "Shop" who want to use Charlie's powers for their own bad uses, especially John, the agent that gets Charlie to trust him. They want her to start fires for them for their own purposes, and they capture Charlie to do this, and kill her father.

The main conflict in this book is the conflict between the people in the Shop who want to use Charlie for bad purposes, and Charlie trying to get away from them, and just live a normal life. The other conflict is that Charlie is not normal, so she can never live a normal life.

A kind of liked the ending of the book. I was glad that Charlie met the old man and his wife who would take care of her, but I didn't like that her father died. I didn't want him to die and leave Charlie alone, with no one that really understood her.

I think the theme of the book was more than just Charlie getting away and living a happy life. I think it was good against evil, and never underestimate people or what they can do. John, the government agent, really didn't believe that Charlie had such great powers, but she did, and it killed him. He should have been more respectful of what she could do.
