The ending wasn't sad or surprising to me due to the name of the book. Mr. Mercedes was far superior in my opinion. I love Stephen King super natural but I didn't feel this series needed to go in that direction even though it was done well. Mr Mercedes was just so grounded in a real world, our real world. Finder's Keepers felt like a spin-off and another Misery like tale that just felt too familiar.

The theme about the almost sacred nature of a good book is really well done.
Just got done with this book. I gave it 4 stars. Finders Keepers was my favorite of the trilogy. I think this is the second best. Mr Mercedes was just too predictable. As usual, the characters in this series were great but beside Finders Keepers I wasn't impressed with the story. I didn't find the ending particularly good. It just seemed like an inevitability.

I just got the Bill Hodges trilogy box set and I can't wait to start binge reading all the books :) I've heard many great things about them, I just started reading Stephen King and he's already one of my favorites!
I’m halfway through reading this one and I couldn’t help but notice a little nod to the Shining. Brady’s hospital room number is 217. Same number as the one with lady in the bath at the overlook hotel in the Shining. Not sure if this has already been pointed out or not. I love finding little Easter eggs of other novels in his books.
