Shortly after his father, a Pennsylvania state trooper, is killed in a senseless automobile accident, Ned Wilcox discovers that the members of Troop D have a secret concealed behind their headquarters.

this is one of my favourite stephen king novels, & one of his scariest- it even has a lovecraftian atmosphere at times- it is almost a cthulhu mythos story (take, for example, the tentacled alien 'thing' that came out of the car). it is also the most mess-with-your-head story he has written. an excellent novel!

I've read alot of Stephen King's books, and by far this is my favorite. (and I love the dark tower series) I've got ten pages left and cant wait to re read this one. Superb story telling.

This was once again a great book. The story isn't told in a traditional fashion, since most of it is told in flashbacks. That works well in this novel, and it bring a nice and homey feeling to the book. As always, the characters work and feel real. which makes the buick even more compelling. I don't know about you, but i sure felt bad for the fact that we will never know what the buick was which is the point of the book. The ending worked well for me. I was afraid that there was going to be some revelation about what the Buick was, which would have destroyed the point of the book, but luckily there wasn't. The ending still was interesting and "final" enough to make you feel satisfied after finishing the book. Again I do nothing else but to strongly advice you to read this book!

it is a really good book,but it doesn't have the spirit of it's predecessors..I really pity my town's public library because it only has 5 or 6 Stephen King books...:(
