Sorry you were disappointed. I personally found it a page turner, one of his better ones. What didn't you like? I'd be interested to know.Hello fellow no. 1 fans! Was anyone else a bit disappointed with " mr Mercedes"?
Shockingly, I had the exact same opinion. I know you're surprised.Nope. I was disappointed when I first read the description many months ago. Soon before it was published and excerpts were released and more was said about it, I realized that this was SK's foray into the "beach read" category and then it all clicked. That said, I really liked it! Had I expected the grand-style SK (which I believe Revival will be this November) then I would have been disappointed. But when you just give in to the genre, all the things we constant readers have come to love about SK are there!

Just didn't grip me like the others? Felt the same about Tommyknockers. Believe me, hate to criticise "the King" he's such a large part of my life. Love to get new novel and immerse myself in his psyche. I just felt he had to write it, rather than wanted to.Welcome to the site, Sarah. I really enjoyed Mr. Mercedes, what specifically disappointed you?
...just go spit shine your Benz while you wait, and don't forget to feed Mama....I was disappointed that it had to end.
(And knowing that there is more to come is a killer of a wait.........)
