The Fireman by Joe Hill starts well, but it becomes tedious. Joe Hill is the son of Stephen King, and part of the main theme, a spore that is causing people to burst into flames after they appear to have black and gold tattoos. Too many people are compared to celebrities and characters from film and fiction. It seems like the author was too lazy to come up with original characters. The book is much too long. It is 747 pages. There are books that are this long that keep one's interest. This is not one of those books. I wanted to see how the story ended, and I was disappointed. This is one of the least original books that I have ever read.
