Anyone here read Stephen King's "Mr. Mercedes" yet?

[AngryOldDem]

I used to be up on his new releases, but I had no idea about this one until I read a review on The Guardian website last week. My library has the book on order and I've already put a hold on it. Probably won't get it for awhile.

Do I have something to look forward to here?

1. Reserved it at library this morning. I'm #28 on the list.

Review in the NY Times books section sounded pretty good.

3. I'm hoping I won't be that far down once the library gets a few copies.

In the meantime, I just finished that oldie-but-goodie Firestarter (1980! I remember buying the paperback then that I now no longer have...) and just started Full Dark, No Stars. King's works are like old friends to me...when nothing else catches my eye in the stacks, I know just where to go.

2. We will have to request that one at the library, AngryOldDem

I had forgotten all about it.

4. We both read that recently, AngryOldDem.

Both of us found it to be very entertaining. We loved the unusual cast of characters.

Sorry if you have already commented on Mr. Mercedes. I am having trouble keeping up.

6. No, haven't read it yet...

But I'm next in line at my library.

5. It's ok.

Not great, but a decent read.

7. Agreed. It's not King at the top of his game, but it's still worthwhile. (nt)
