From a Buick 8

I don't listen to reviews of favorite authors before reading a book, and I hope you don't either. Most of the reviews for this particular King offering border on the "two thumbs down" to downright bad. That's not really fair. Compared to some of his classic works, Buick 8 may seem to be lacking in the in-depth character analysis and "bogeys you love to hate" subjects. However, on its own, it's an engaging and interesting read. King is still a top-notch storyteller, something that has absolutely nothing to do with the theme of his books as much as just the kind of writer he is. Meticulous, engaging, entertaining, and always down-to-earth, it's King's style of writing that I have always loved far beyond the "horror" genre it's invariably anchored in. If you like Stephen King, you will like this read.
I would suggest that you borrow it from your local library and read it first, to see whether or not it deserves a spot in your library.

I really liked this story. Not exactly what I expected but still had the great Stephen King touch. Many of his newer stuff is a bit different but this one I think was a little closer to the old stuff.

Basically a good read;The suspense of waiting for something to happen keeps you turning the pages. However,I'm not fond of the style of writing that keeps flipping back & forth between the present and the past. The ending leaves a lot to be desired as well. The introspective about how Mr. King got the idea for the book is almost as interesting as the story in the book.

I like this title a lot, it is one of stephen king's more frightening novels and it was an instant classic. The story went by fast and it is a good read.
I already had a copy, but I wanted another one. I would definitly recomend it.

For any Stephen King fan this is an excellent book. I actually purchased this for my husband, who is the big Stephen King fan and who reads most everything the man puts out. This books compares highly with an earlier work entitled Christine.

Suprisingly a Great Book!Review created: 10/21/05(updated 01/16/06)

Soon to be a major motion picture, this book produced more intial judgements than educated reviews when it first came out, reminding people of King's other classic novel Christine. But it is much, much more than that. Told in typical Stephen King fashion, the story takes place in present day, but past "events" are told leading up to the present day conclusion. A very "otherworldly" driven plot keeps you glued to its pages. Suprisingly enough the protagonist of the story is not an author or writer of some kind, but a lowly old town police department faced with unspeakable enough events. It's a really good book and you should give it a chance.

There is not much to say about a book written by Stephen King other than it is spine tingling good. Never read a book by King I didn't like.
