Search - From a Buick 8

This book reminded me of why I stopped reading Stephen King's books. They are monotonous, tedious, and repetitive. The story is told from a third person point of view (or many POVs as it turns out). The cops of Troop D are retelling the 20 year history of the buick in shed B to Ned, one of the dead troopers kids. So the story is choppy and split between NOW and THEN with multiple people telling the story which is confusing as hell. A lot of the details are repetitive and the suspense is non-existent until the end of the book. The buick throws out purple rays like violent lightning and sometimes things appear but most times it's just a light show. I got tired of reading the same descriptions again and again and again. This is about 400 pages long but could easily have been half that and still told the same story.

More cerebral than Christine - I enjoy it when everything isn't quite all the way explained... Note: Has tie-ins to the Dark Tower series!

this book is not stephen kings best work,i read more than half of it and then quit .

I thought this was a great book. I loved how they let you almost glimpse an alternate reality that is so horrifying you wouldn't want to send your worst enemy there. I thought it was very suspenseful. I couldn't wait to see what the "Buick" was going to throw at them next. The writing is so great I could actually picture myself sitting in the car and hearing it starting to humm.... Great read!

this book is great and comes with a free poster of the same title.
