Helpful Score: 1

This book reminded me of why I stopped reading Stephen King's books. They are monotonous, tedious, and repetitive. The story is told from a third person point of view (or many POVs as it turns out). The cops of Troop D are retelling the 20 year history of the buick in shed B to Ned, one of the dead troopers kids. So the story is choppy and split between NOW and THEN with multiple people telling the story which is confusing as hell. A lot of the details are repetitive and the suspense is non-existent until the end of the book. The buick throws out purple rays like violent lightning and sometimes things appear but most times it's just a light show. I got tired of reading the same descriptions again and again and again. This is about 400 pages long but could easily have been half that and still told the same story.
