From a Buick 8 Author:Stephen King WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE...?In a secret shed behind the barracks of the Pennsylvania State Police, Troop D, there's a cherry Buick Roadmaster no one has touched in years -- because there's more power under the hood than anyone can handle....
Wow, I didn't like this book at all. I only finished reading it because I really did want to know the end, but the story dragged and it was just too much of the same thing. Maybe there's some deeper meaning, I dunno, but yuck. I cannot believe I found a King novel I didn't really really like! But this was a stinker for me.
Like a fine wine, I am pleased to see that King only gets better with age. A frightening book indeed, the kind of fear that shakes up your moral core. No perfunctory scare in this book.
A reviewer stated that the story went slow. What I say is that the Buick 8 was stored for at least 2 decades and things happened over that period. I liked the book. What I didn't like was what happened to the barracks dog. Then again I am a dog lover. I occasionally read his books. I didn't know what to expect with this book, but I read it during the day, just in case it got really bad. lol How come things look better during the day but it doesn't at night???
