From a Buick 8 by Stephen KingMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"From A Buick 8" is vintage Stephen King. A 1950s Buick Roadmaster is abandoned by a sketchy man in a black coat and hat at a gas station in western Pennsylvania. The local State Police Barracks puts it in a shed for safekeeping, but there is nothing safe about this car. In fact, it isn't even really a car. The battery isn't attached to anything, the controls are all for show, and it can heal itself if it gets a scratch.
That's only the tip of the iceberg, though. This Buick occasionally spits up hideous creatures, or causes human beings to disappear without a trace. It's really chilling, engrossing, and absolutely entertaining. Recommended.

I am yet to read this title by King, I must add to my reading list. Nice review and how are you? Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteYes, how ARE You?
ReplyDeletethanks for the juicy review
Steven King pissed me off after I slogged through the gunslinger series and it turned out to be another Groundhog Day. I swore to never read him again.
ReplyDeleteLove me some hideous creatures!
ReplyDeleteNormally I don't read Stephen King these days(stopped after Needful Things) because he scares me too thoroughly, but you convince me I should give this one a try--the spouse really liked it, also.I'll put it on my list.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm wondering too. How ARE you?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a good read. I'll have to put it on my list...
I'm really bummed. Your review was so interesting that I went to the library today to check it out, only to discover that it had been stolen.
