In the book, each character expresses their feelings using conversations that are fluid and easy to notice. I found the dialogues of ‘The Outsider’ to be intriguing and emotion-filled.

‘The Outsider’ also showed how each character dealt with emotions of sadness and fear this makes every person in the story a real-life figure and not just a mere construct of imagination. Ralph had to drop his rigid atheistic belief to defeat The Outsider, the same as other characters in the story. With the interaction of the characters with one another, every single character transcends and grows mentally. Each character in ‘The Outsider’ feels like a distinct human with unique ideologies that propel the story forward.

One thing I found interesting in ‘The Outsider’ is that the characters drive the story and not the other way round. Also, the attention to intricate real-life details in ‘The Outsider’ makes it super realistic even with the elements of fiction included. ‘The Outsider’ adds the element of the impossible into a society dominated by the ideologies of science and technology, and I find this specific inclusion to be interesting because it makes the story unique. I noticed Stephen King’s deliberate inclusion of the idea of the supernatural a bit later in the story to be what makes the story much more dynamic. From the beginning of the story, when everything goes sideways with the death of Terry Maitland, ‘The Outsider’ becomes unpredictable. ‘The Outsider’ provides an intriguing story to the reader, and in my opinion, I found the intertwined unpredictability of the book very interesting. ‘ The Outsider,‘ as a story, is filled with exceptional storytelling, great characters, intricate explanation of detailed events, and interesting dialogues.
