Stephen King
The #1 New York Times bestseller from Stephen King—a novel about the fascination deadly things have for us and about our insistence on answers when there are none…Since 1979, the state police of Troop D in rural Pennsylvania have kept a secret in the shed out behind the barracks. Ennis Rafferty and Curtis Wilcox had answered a strange call just down the road and came back with an abandoned 1953 Buick Roadmaster. Curt Wilcox knew old cars, and this one was…just wrong. As it turned out, the Buick 8 was worse than dangerous—and the members of Troop D decided that it would be better if the public never found out about it. Now, more than twenty years later, Curt’s son Ned starts hanging around the barracks and is allowed into the Troop D family. And one day he discovers the family secret—a mystery that begins to stir once more, not only in the minds and hearts of these veteran troopers, but out in the shed as well, for there’s more power under the hood than anyone can handle…

"What is even happening?? I made it 3 and a half hours into the audiobook."

"A very good read, a departure from Stephen King’s normal brand of horror in a way very like Dolores Claiborne. It felt almost comforting at times to read about the close knit “family” of the precinct. The ending was disappointing however, a weird fake out that leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. The book was great overall but the ending brings it down. "

"To me the book doesn’t keep your interest of first but the more you read your not gonna stop reading "

"I have to say this is not one of my most favorite Stephen King novels. The story was pretty slow in the beginning and I kept waiting for "something" to happen....and when it finally did....I was pretty disappointed. It didn't scare me like most of his other novels do such as "It"...."Salem's Lot"...."Bag Of Bones"....etc. I did like the characters though and when one of them would die I would feel sad and miss them....I especially missed the dog "Mr. D." As for choosing between "Christine" or "From A Buick Eight" as my favorite......."Christine" wins hands down! <br/><br/>"

"It’s in the vein of Christine. Definitely a good read. "
