I love Stephen King’s writing, but I have to say I prefer his earlier books – for me he wrote more powerfully when he was battling his demons in the struggle with addiction. I particularly liked his darkly comic bad guys.
I own 53 of his books,a screenplay and a few magazines he appeared in – yet I’m afraid I would not classify Mr, Mercedes as one of his best. Although a good book, it seemed to me not his best effort. I have hopes for Revival coming up!
I had just finished reading 11/22/63 when I picked up Mr. Mercedes. I think that was a bad choice. I should have waited. Mr. Mercedes didn’t do much for me after 11/22/63.
Sounds good. Reading Doctor Sleep right now and enjoying it.

I also analyzed and reviewed Mr. Mercedes on my blog. It’s not a glowing review. http://readerrecaps.wordpress.com/
