Not horror but horrible characters. Racist words. Scary and creepy but not monsters -- just human monster and others trying to stop the bad.

Another psychological thriller by a master. I found myself thinking the book could have wound down more quickly, some of the characters seemed like odd choices for the task at hand - but I think that was what King may have been going for. I found the posse somewhat less credible as a result - but still - love King.

I can’t decide how I felt about this book. I didn’t hate it, but I think I could gave quit reading it at any point and not thought twice about it. It did have some shocking moments and things picked up better near the end but it just wasn’t very exciting. Did really care much about the characters. I am trying to read all the books Holly is in before I read her book, and I do really like her as a character so I stuck with it. We’ll see how the next one pans out.

I loved this series, and really cared for Bill Hodges and his friends Holly and Jerome. My favorite book in the series was the first one, Mr. Mercedes. Although the second book in the series, Finders Keepers, was a bit different than the first and third books I enjoyed all of them.

I've read 32 Stephen King books (after going back and counting them) and if I had to rank them, this one would be at the bottom of the list. A couple interesting twists, but other than that, it felt like we were simply following along as the characters (sometimes acting oddly out of character or developing unique, plot-necessary abilities) moved from one plot point to another.
