After being spoiled by the first book in the series, Mr. Mercedes, I had such high hopes for this one but was a bit disappointed by it. Not that it was bad, just wasn’t what I was expecting and it didn’t seem like typical Stephen King fare. One of the strongest things about all the books in this series is the fact they are narrated by Will Patton. That alone improves any story and this was no exception. A good read but tempered only by my own expectations which let me down a little, however not enough to prevent me from reading the final book in the trilogy.
