A review by sarabrennan
Mile 81 by Stephen King

3.0

Eh wit? Basically I read this by accident. So I have a long list in my notes of books that I want to read, and I spent a long time going through that list, searching every book on it on my Kindle and then buying every one that was £2 or under. When I saw this one on this list I thought ‘ah this is that Stephen King book about that competition where people have to walk forever’. It was £1.99 so I bought it and started reading it. Turns out the book I was thinking about was actually ‘The Long Walk’ and the book I was now reading was actually about a car that kills people. No, not ‘Christine’, that’s the other Stephen King book about a car that kills people. I think it’s cause it has ‘Mile’ in the title that I thought it was the walking competition book but as we have it established it certainly is not, the question is raised of, why did I add this to my list of books I want to read in the first place? What did I read in the description of this book which enticed me? I genuinely can’t think of a single thing. The story itself was fine cause it was short. Just about this daft car really. And the characters were good enough. But would I recommend that you add it to your list of books to read? No I wouldn’t.
