A review by veganheathen
Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King
3.0
I wanted to give this book 4 stars because I really enjoyed it. I'm taking off a star because of the racist slurs. It's unnecessary. Hey, we get it. The bad guy is a really bad guy. He has done some horrific things with plans for more. It's getting tired that white guys writing books feel like they need their antagonist to be super racist to make the point that they're bad. Just stop it, already.
Other than that, I enjoyed the unlikely heros of the story and their armchair detective work. It was good fun to go along with them as they try and get Mr. Mercedes. The characters were quite likeable and I really wanted them to succeed and survive.
