A full-throttle sprint to the finish; the last 80 pages cannot be doled out over multiple reading sessions. You'll have to swallow them all in a single gulp., Classic Stephen King. Creepy, yet realistic characters that get under your skin and stay there, a compelling story that twists and turns at breakneck speed, and delightful prose that, once again, proves that one of America's greatest natural storytellers is also one of its finest writers., A literary Van de Graaff generator: tightly paced and parsed with dynamic dialogue and traumatic twists., No one can create a villain quite like King. . . . [A]ll the elements come together in a very public, potentially explosive finale (with a surprising post script). King fans may find themselves furiously turning pages long into the night., A fast-paced cat-and-mouse game between Hodges, the motley group of unlikely heroes that he assembles, and the Mercedes Killer., On one level, Mr. Mercedes is an expertly crafted example of the classic race-against-the-clock thriller. On another, it is a novel of depth and character enriched throughout by the grace notes King provides in such seemingly effortless profusion. It is a rich, resonant, exceptionally readable accomplishment by a man who can write in whatever genre he chooses., As always, Stephen King draws very real people and scenes straight out of life as we know it . . ., King creates such vivid characters--people you can picture yourself drinking a beer with or inviting over for lunch. So when he puts them in great peril, and that includes Jerome's family and pet dog and the Mercedes' owner's family, it's a race against time . . ., Think of Mr. Mercedes as an AC/DC song: uncluttered, chugging with momentum, and a lot harder to pull off than it looks. . . . King has written a hot rod of a novel,perfect for a few summer days at the pool. Mercedes-Benz commands drivers to demand 'the best or nothing.' In pop-fiction terms, that motto still applies to Stephen King, too. With apologies to AC/DC, the highway to hell never felt so fun., Hartfield is sensitive, sympathetic and one of King's most realistic characters. He is a lot like Norman Bates from Psycho , in the worst ways imaginable.You can add Hartfield to the list of great King villains, alongside the shape-shifting monster Pennywise from It and the hypnotic vampire Kurt Barlow from Salem's Lot ., King creates such vivid characters-people you can picture yourself drinking a beer with or inviting over for lunch. So when he puts them in great peril, and that includes Jerome's family and pet dog and the Mercedes' owner's family, it's a race against time . . ., A taut, calibrated thriller . . . The majority of the book is merciless and unforgiving, and the scariest thing about it is how plausible the whole scenario is., A trimmer-than-usual King, but that doesn't mean he skimps on the suspense and spine-tingling chills., A war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable., King excels in his disturbing portrait of Brady, a genuine monster in ordinary human form who gives new meaning to the phrase'the banality of evil., King may have left out the supernatural in Mr. Mercedes , but his gifts for creating thoroughly believable characters and thrumming suspense are in full play. He keeps raising the stakes and ratcheting up the violence, and just when you think everything is settled there's one spine-icing little turn on the very last page., With Mr.Mercedes , [King] demonstrates that he can still rock a pure genre novel like nobody's business. . . . a thrilling example of King's boundless imagination., . . . barrels toward a memorable conclusion. King's work has almost always gotten lost in translation on the big screen, but his tense, propulsive, ultra-fast-paced climax here seems like it was written with the movie in mind., Along book that doesn't feel like one. King's pacing is perfect here . . . [Y]ou should read Mr. Mercedes . You'll be checking your automobile's back seat for months, if not years.

Synopsis
Now an AT&T Audience Original Series WINNER OF THE EDGAR AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL #1 New York Times bestseller In a mega-stakes, high-suspense race against time, three of the most unlikely and winning heroes Stephen King has ever created try to stop a lone killer from blowing up thousands. In the frigid pre-dawn hours, in a distressed Midwestern city, hundreds of desperate unemployed folks are lined up for a spot at a job fair. Without warning, a lone driver plows through the crowd in a stolen Mercedes, running over the innocent, backing up, and charging again. Eight people are killed; fifteen are wounded. The killer escapes. In another part of town, months later, a retired cop named Bill Hodges is still haunted by the unsolved crime. When he gets a crazed letter from someone who self-identifies as the "perk" and threatens an even more diabolical attack, Hodges wakes up from his depressed and vacant retirement, hell-bent on preventing another tragedy. Brady Hartsfield lives with his alcoholic mother in the house where he was born. He loved the feel of death under the wheels of the Mercedes, and he wants that rush again. Only Bill Hodges, with a couple of highly unlikely allies, can apprehend the killer before he strikes again. And they have no time to lose, because Brady's next mission, if it succeeds, will kill or maim thousands. Mr. Mercedes is a war between good and evil, from the master of suspense whose insight into the mind of this obsessed, insane killer is chilling and unforgettable., Watch the complete MR.

    Stay Out of the Crime Genre, Steve

    Lifelong fan of the honorable Mr. King, and I think he's a fine human being in addition to a brilliant author. Having read and reread virtually everything he's ever written, however, I find that he has difficulty transitioning to genres outside of horror, and that is certainly the case with "Mr. Mercedes." The lead character, retired detective Bill Hodges, is hackneyed and unremarkable, and the villain, Brady Hartfield, is predictable and, frankly, too familiar. At the same time, Hartfield is unbelievable in his dual personality of good, subservient minimum-wage ice cream man/computer whiz, and bitter, psychotic killer. One of the central plot questions revolves around how Hartfield gained access to the Mercedes he used to kill several people in a crowd at an employment fair. King ...

    Stephen King's Mr Mercedes and Finders Keepers! Review !

    I Have not had the chance to read these two books I purchased yet! Actually , I did not purchase these books to read right away! They were just two of the books that I did not have yet in my library! I like the jacket covers of these two books! Very simple !

    Awesome!

    Burned through it in a few days! Pages turn themselves! Love Holly Gibney. Did the outsider and if it bleeds before I knew these existed. On to finders Keepers next!

    Bill Hodges is The Man

    The entire 3-book series is tremendous. If you are into Thrillers that have unforeseen twists, then this is your trilogy! I didn't buy this one to read, I needed it to complete my Hardback collection. I loaned out my original and it was misplaced.

    To the point

    If you like Stephen King this is must. Not like It or Carrie or all the others, but to me, better than Gunslinger trilogy.. Thought provoking and in some areas funny.-; like you can relate it to your TV watching. Only just started reading it but it's a keeper.
