A good solid mystery written by one of the best writers around. While I had a few issues with the plot in this one, I invested heavily in the characters as I usually do in Stephen King stories. This is the first in a trilogy featuring Bill Hodges, a recently retired detective struggling with findi...
Well plotted and plausible thriller, but as usual with King’s books, it was the characters and their individual stories that drove me on through most of the book. The “what happens next” takes the co-pilot seat in the last third of the book, turning into a real nail-biter at the end. King’s genius...
First of all can I just say that I'm so done with listening to older guys getting way too into awkward sex scenes when narrating audiobooks... I wasn't that great of a fan of the narrator in the first place and after that it just got really painful. Will Patton drawled his way through this and while...
Although the ex-detective is an idiot who apparently forgot all about procedure and common sense, the other characters were smart and helpful, and I liked them a lot. The middle of the book lagged a bit, but the beginning and end were really engaging. Four stars!
A Mercedes plows through a group of job seekers killing 8 and injuring many, but the driver is never caught. For now retired detective, Bill Hodges, life has been so empty he’s been thinking about eating a bullet when he gets a letter from the driver. Now Bill, with a new zeal for life, is back on...
Retired Detective Bill Hodges is being terrorized by Brady Hartfield who happened to murder some 8 innocent people at the wheel of a stolen Mercedes. He was never apprehended and in this cat and mouse thriller makes every waking day a nightmare for RD Hodges. The problem I have with this story is th...
Ondanks dat je meteen al weet wie het heeft gedaan, is dit boek vanaf de eerste bladzijde spannend. Het wisselt van POV, wat ik - vooral bij thrillers - erg fijn vind om te lezen; dat houdt het tempo hoog. Vooral het POV van Brady vond ik leuk, zo'n geflipte jongen..Het einde vond ik wel een beetje...
My complaints have been passionately and eloquently voiced by others. Overall, the book was like one of those predictable, formulaic works that must take about a week to write. Flat, cartoonish characters, unbelievable dialog, unbelievable plot, dependence on technical computer details without any r...
Reading a King novel has become an annual thing for me the past few years. Previously I read a couple gigantic "classics" (It and The Stand). This time I went for something more recent: the first book in what's become the Bill Hodges trilogy, Mr. Mercedes. A detective thriller rather than horror, th...
I don't know how any reader could not love Stephen King. This was far from the normal for him, yet not stretched. Just like with many of his novels, I found myself chuckling throughout. His sense of humor and delivery is always perfect. He's not pretentious, doesn't get caught up on vocabulary...
