First..... Welcome, Adam
I wouldn't go so far as to say any of us are overawed or that we don't have high expectations. I find that statement more than a little insulting, but am hopeful that you're merely venting your personal frustration, and were not throwing stones at fans who enjoyed the book.
I think the main thing to keep in mind is that no one, not even Stephen King is going to please everyone all the time. For instance, I didn't particularly enjoy 11/22/63.....but almost everyone else in the free world seems to have loved it.
Maybe you'll stick around and find something here that you like......we're a lot of fun, and a pretty smart bunch once you give us a chance.
Now that I know how you feel about Mr. Mercedes, what are some of your favorite books?
