I have to consider myself one of the biggest Stephen King fans in the world.....however; it does not deter me from stating how disappointed I was in "From a Buick 8".I read the book from cover to cover, but not with ease. Of all of his novels, this one by far was the hardest to "become" part of and the easiest to put down. I continually found myself drifting while reading. I agree with most other reviews that this book is WAY too long to hold anyone's interest for too long.Then only comfort I find is knowing this is not the norm for Mr. King and I can expect this to be a one-time disappointment for me.
