Yes I gave it three stars but this little not-quite-a-novella irritates the hell out of me for two reasons.

First, that Goodreads description and half the reviews. If you read the description above you have basically read 60% of the story. Way too much information and not much else to read. There should be a law.

Second, what is this about Stephen King and monster cars? First Christine, Then From a Buick Eight, and now this. Add the fact that the two mentioned novels are among my least favorite of King's works. Aren't there any nice cars out there? I'm pretty sure that if my PT Cruiser became sentient, it would be a puppy dog.

So why three stars. Getting over my two peeves, this isn't really a bad story. Not one of King's best but it still has a nice sense of horror and the kids are pretty entertaining, especially Pete. The adults are essentially Purina Auto Chow but the kids make the tale. Is it worth the $2.99 for a 60 page story? We could debate that but you will not disagree that it is a lot of fun.
