Of the four novellas in this collection, the title story is unquestionably the best, and not only because we get to spend more time with Holly Gibney from the The Outsider and the Mr. Mercedes series. It's probably the most complete of the stories. Mr. Harrigan's Phone and The Life of Chuck were cl...
What happens to Danny Torrance after The Shining?According to Stephen King, in his author's note, this is a question he was often asked at book talks, and also one he wondered about from time to time himself, idly thinking about how old Danny would be at various times. So he wrote Doctor Sleep to fi...
Once again, Will Patton did a wonderful job with the narration. At the beginning of the audiobook I had kind of wished that all books in a series would get a brief recap because it's been a while since I read the first three books and I was a little lost. It didn't take me long to get back into the ...
If you can persevere through the first third of this book, it will reward you with an excellent vintage thriller. But it was a challenge to get there. I don’t know what it was about the early to mid 1970’s that had the American adult population so invested in interminable navel-gazing, but it seems ...
This is the story of an atrocious murder of an innocent and the investigation that turns into a “ f*cked up nightmare of a case” for all of those involved. That description about sums it all up. The murder, the ensuing rush to jail a suspect and the follow up are all horrific. To say anything more a...
In some ways, I was a little relieved to see a return to more classic King in this last book, with the addition of supernatural elements backed by a vague explanation that is really ludicrous if examined too closely, but the storytelling is so good that I didn’t really care to examine it, but only w...
4,5 stars! This one left me with a huge lump in my throat! After a second book that wasn't all that good, King picks up where the first one left us and pumps it up to 100. At first I wasn't too convinced with the book going all supernatural, but then something clicked and it worked for me. I didn't ...
Finders Keepers is about a long ago crime and a boy who unwittingly gets himself in trouble with a murderer when he uncovers buried treasure and doesn’t keep it a secret. Characters from Mr. Mercedes make an appearance but they’re not a huge part of this one. I enjoyed Finders Keepers but not quit...
A YA Contemporary Fantasy that plays with typical genre elements and makes it's own unique mix. Every year, Blue Sargent stands next to her clairvoyant mother as the soon-to-be dead walk past. Blue never sees them--until this year, when a boy emerges from the dark and speaks to her. His name is...
An exciting conclusion to what has been a great series. The one does not disappoint with great characters and an excellent story line.5 Stars and a must read Steven King!!!
