Zaczynało się fajnie ale potem to już chyba równia pochyła. Niewiele się tam dzieje, historia może ciekawa i tajemnicza ale nie porwała mnie jakoś specjalnie. Przeczytałam do końca i nadal nie wiem, w czym tkwi fenomen tego autka.
Nie najgorsze to ale mogłoby być lepsze o ile autor bardziej by się postarał.

won me back over in the second half, a slow start but got spooky in a way i enjoyed and was surprised by. i also enjoyed the vague ending, without giving too much spoiler
AUDIOBOOK: “Curiosity killed the cat. Satisfaction brought him back.” A phrase that is repeated throughout the narrative. I kept passing over this title for whatever reason, and I’m glad I finally read it. I really enjoyed this book. I’ve said it many times but SK really knows how to tell a story. The story switches back and forth from past and present but it doesn’t detract at all. In fact, it works really well. I found the characters really likable and relatable. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is about this story but I was intrigued by it. Excellent narration. Highly recommend.

This was fun to listen to on audiobook. I also think that this is the first King full length book that I've read where the story is much more about the narration and vibes than the actual horror (which made it very fun to follow but on the other hand made the horror element feel a little meh)
Another King Snoozer, folks. I just wasn’t feeling this at all. I have struck out with the last two. But will be checking his stuff out again, soon.

The mistake was believing that the twenty-five-year-old guy who seemed to live in my brain was real.

As I started reading From a Buick 8 by Stephen King, I couldn’t keep my mind from thinking about one of his earliest novels, Christine. These novels turn out to be quite different from one another. The Buick 8 is also a creepy and bizarre piece of machinery that only King can create.
In 1979, Pennsylvania State Troopers, Ennis Rafferty and Curtis Wilcox, discover an abandoned Buick Roadmaster. Despite their best efforts, the driver cannot be located. The troopers bring the Buick 8 back to the station barracks where they store the vehicle in Shed B. Wilcox knows something is seriously wrong with this vehicle. A few hours later, Trooper Rafferty disappears.
The policemen of Troop D keep a close eye on the Buick 8 for many years and observe its unexplainable occurrences. In 2001, Trooper Curtis Wilcox is killed in an auto accident. His son, Ned, begins spending time with the members of Troop D. Most likely as a way to be closer to his dad. While poking around, Ned discovers the contents of Shed B and begins asking questions. The members of Troop D gather and begin sharing their stories of the Buick 8.
King created yet another bizarre, unbelievable character with the Buick. Events described are intense, frightening, and suspenseful. I liked all of the characters. As the story closed, I felt a nostalgic relationship between all members of Troop D. A type of uniquely close relationship that is fostered when a small group of people share traumatic experiences.
