Book #4: Rage (1977)

Well, four books in, and I've finally gotten to one that I am not familiar with at all.
Rage.

Well, I'm familiar with its reputation.  I know that, due to the content, King has chosen to let it go permanently out of print.  I don't know exactly why (I've chosen to not find out prior to reading) but I seem to recall it having to do with a school shooting.

So, lets get to it.
