When a story has no supernatural shit going on, I tend to like it better. +1, Mr. Mercedes.
When a story has giant asinine leaps of logic, I find it harder to stay with it. Don't get me wrong. The pages turned. But by the time that (view spoiler) I was like, "WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM?!" and THIS and THIS and THIS, just all over the entire story. Things didn't add up. It ...more

I listened to this as my first ever audiobook and despite the three star rating, I really enjoyed it. I don't necessarily think it is one of Stephen King's best, and I have to admit, after 17 hours I was getting a little bit sick of the sound of the narrator, but in terms of an audiobook experience, it has got me hooked. The opening was amazing. I switched off the iPod and just sat there, thinking "wow". As the story went on, with Bill Hodges on the hunt for the psychopathic Mercedes Killer, I f

Bill Hodges is a retired cop in a deep depression until he receives a letter from the Mercedes Killer, a man who drove a stolen Mercedes into a line of people waiting for a job fair, killing 8. Bill takes on tracking Mr. Mercedes on his own with the eventual help of the sister of the owner of the Mercedes, Janey Patterson. A mystery/thriller without any horror/fantasy elements. The characters were well drawn and the killer is a real nut.
I "read" the audio version of Mr. M...glad I did..think it added depth to the chacters. Think this novel got some lousy reviews ..I really liked it. Bill Hodges is a very likable ret det..the surrounding cast of good guys is superb. The bad guy was surely bad. Mr. King is one of the best.
