Didn't enjoy this one as much as Mr. Mercedes. I didn't find the primary plot to be that engaging and I was kind of annoyed by how long it took to get to Hodges and his crew.

This book is excellent!! I got totally wrapped up in it. For those of you who read Mr. Mercedes…you met the lunatic. In this book, the killer was/is totally unhinged. This book is not creepy crawly clowns or psychotic animals. It’s a detective story. Very well written.

I would say this is more like a 3.5.

Not as good as the first book, but maybe all second books of a trilogy suffer this malaise. Trying to tell a story, the last story, prep the next story....kind of a mess. The last third of the book was excellent, so I'd still recommend it. Plenty of suspense to keep you interested.

Pretty good. My only complaint would be when King bases a story more in reality (as opposed to something paranormal like vampires) some of the decisions the characters make seem more grounded in the paranormal which makes the suspension of disbelief a little shaky. Entertaining but certainly not among his best works.
