I'm liking the Mr. Mercedes series better.<br /><br />I just read Blaze, one of his Bachman books from the 80s I missed when it came out and I really, really liked it. The character's world is small but completely immersive. I also re-read Under the Dome several months ago and liked it for the opposite reason or rather the same reason achieved by opposite ends if that makes any sense. What I always want from King is to be sucked into a world and he usually delivers. <br /><br />I've got Bazaar of Bad Dreams on my bedside table now but I haven't started it yet.StephLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888019478250380270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102491209284064200.post-14662496355645058612016-01-11T10:16:15.549-08:002016-01-11T10:16:15.549-08:00I LOVE Summer Crossing - I just love books of that...I LOVE Summer Crossing - I just love books of that era, with that feel.

Obliviousness FTW! Anyway, I totally agree with your review. I liked Finders Keepers better than Mr Mercedes because FK felt more complete and engaged me from the beginning, whereas I spent half of Mr Mercedes wondering if the boogeyman was even in the closet.

Snort. I love it when a punch line catches me off guard like that.<br /><br />I am the opposite when I decide to read an established author--if it's not a series, I deliberately choose their most famous book. Then if I love it I'll read the rest of their work--often disappointed that the early stuff doesn't live up to the best. I hate the trend of publishing unfinished work that the author deliberately didn't choose to publish. I still haven't read Go Set a Watchman (although I probably will this year.)Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065962367181064516noreply@blogger.com
