Ta książka nie była ani zła ani dobra. Sama historia fajna i bardzo tajemnicza. Fajni bohaterowie i to ich przywiązanie do jednostki. Kilka opowiastek funkcjonariuszy naprawdę interesujące. Jednak tam się nic nie dzieje XD Akcję to można streścić na jednej stronie. Gdyby to było krótsze opowiadanie to byłoby dużo lepsze. Tak to niestety się wynudziłam. Choć no za złą książkę tego nie uznam.

I enjoy the way this story is written. It probably makes a great audiobook because there's something that reminds me of movies and tv shows that would have a narrator describing events from their childhood. I'm not sure if that makes sense. 

The story though... Meh. I loved Christine and was hoping to get more of the same since we were doing spooky cars again. This wasn't really it though. It's interesting enough that I didn't get bored, but it was far from a thrill or unsettling or any other exciting emotions.

This was fine. Enjoyable enough, but also nothing I would recommend highly to anyone. There is intrigue and some suspense, but it may be a flaw of my own brain sadly that I couldn't really escape that it is just a car doing all this. There are some moments of heart and tension, but it didn't make me feel what I would expect from a book in this genre.
