Am I the only one not liking Big Driver

**Sigmund** · November 7th, 2011

I understand. I had trouble reading it as well. Fair Extensions was especially gut-wrenching, for me. Although I enjoyed FDNS it's the first SK book that I did not imediately start re-reading again.

Peace.

It is true. I found that this was the hardest story to get thru and although all the stories in this book were dark, I agree that Big Driver was the darkest.
Happy reading

While I admit that this story is very dark, I made myself finish it. I won't give anything away but was glad I pushed on to the end. To those in doubt, push on. And let me say, I do believe, this collection is appropriately named!

I had a hard time reading it because of the content. I think most of us women did, espesially if we lived it. But it is a great story, and I do recommend finishing it.

I only read the first 2 so far and me I though it was a book on how to raise your child to be a criminal. Cant wait to see the others.

I did not like the beginning too much. It's not really because of the theme; that's not the first sexual abuse scene in a King book. The trap just seemed a bit too far fetched. Seriously, what are the odds that Big Driver's trap to get Tess would work? What if she braked on time or what if her cell phone had worked, or if the band's truck had also hit the nails? How could he get away with so many murders by being so stupid? It's not impossible, I just could have been made more believable. But when it gets to the revenge part, I thought it started getting pretty good.

I just finished reading the second story... Well, I agree that the stories in this book are really dark, but I love them. I loved the first one, I love the second one, too. In fact, with both stories it was difficult for me to get through the first 10 pages, but after these 10 pages I got so excited, I could not wait to finish it to know how it will end. I finished reading Big Driver in three days, and I really, really enjoyed it.

I understand why Big Driver might be a touch too much for some readers.
Unfortunately, it seems all too possible to me - maybe because my work used to bring me into contact with some truly degenerate nuts.

My heart goes out to Tess, but (forgive me friends) the most distasteful part of her story (to me) was that her rep/image was more important than doing the right thing - giving those murdered women back to their families.
That was harder to read than the rape.

Again (back in work world), I set the law on a known pest - the women involved were happy to fess up to me, but they couldn't deal with telling the police.
I told our local neighbourhood police and they visited him 'informally' - he knew they knew he was a nasty piece of work.
And he knew I set them on him.
I wasn't trying to be a hero - I wanted to use the my 'status' to do the right thing.

Back in the day (BD: before disability), I would have cheerfully put him through a window & slept peacefully that night.
And he knew that too.

All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing

Such is the legacy of being bullied as a teenager - I never give the bad guys an inch.
