This doesn't look like weeing... just saying. (Unless he is suffering like Paul Edgecomb in The Green Mile?)
See what I did there? Almost brought us back onto topic. Not quite... but nearly.

Ice cream, anyone???
You tried, Flake. You tried.
Basically this.Welcome John. You don't like Mr. Mercedes, OK. While this book won't be on my favorites list, I still respect him enough to know nothing is half with him. It's always full. In my view, Mr. King doesn't put out books unless he really believes in them. It seems like you like a lot of his books. This one just didn't catch your fancy. No biggie. Just remember, the comments about the him being in it for the money and us fans being overly enthusiastic is not really needed. I prefer to talk about the points of the book maybe you disagreed with or maybe there was something that you liked. We are not here to change your mind, but have a lively discussion. Stay around the forums. There's a lot of great, witty and charming people at SKMB!
Thank-you NBG. JA. Discussion points regarding the story- yes. Character attacks, no thanks.Welcome John. You don't like Mr. Mercedes, OK.

You are completely right, I was/am still just venting my disappointment, and certainly not throwing stones or trying to insult anybody. Btw, I am in Australia, hence the delay in my responses due to the time zone difference.
Some of my favorite books (by SK I assume you meant?): The Stand, IT, The Shining, Misery, Lisey's Story, Duma Key, Bag of Bones, The Dark Tower series, The Green Mile, Rose Madder, too many to mention really. Least favorite: Mr Mercedes (obviously), Insomnia, Dr Sleep
