From a Buick 8

A Novel

De: Stephen King

Narrado por: James Rebhorn, Bruce Davison, Becky Ann Baker, Peter Gerety, Stephen Tobolowsky, Fred Sanders

The #1 New York Times bestselling suspense thriller from Stephen King—a novel about the fascination deadly things have for us and about our insistence on answers when there are none…

Since 1979, the state police of Troop D in rural Pennsylvania have kept a secret in the shed out behind the barracks. Ennis Rafferty and Curtis Wilcox had answered a strange call just down the road and came back with an abandoned 1953 Buick Roadmaster. Curt Wilcox knew old cars, and this one was…just wrong. As it turned out, the Buick 8 was worse than dangerous—and the members of Troop D decided that it would be better if the public never found out about it.

Now, more than twenty years later, Curt’s son Ned starts hanging around the barracks and is allowed into the Troop D family. And one day he discovers the family secret—a mystery that begins to stir once more, not only in the minds and hearts of these veteran troopers, but out in the shed as well, for there’s more power under the hood than anyone can handle…©2002 Stephen King, All Rights Reserved; (P)2002 Simon & Schuster Inc., All Rights Reserved; AUDIOWORKS Is an Imprint of Simon & Schuster Audio Division, Simon & Schuster Inc.

absolutely wonderful performance

absolutely LOVED the narrator in this, the main Male voice was absolutely brilliant! the female voices toward the end (around chapter 9 I think) are a little bland in my opinion and are hard to follow along with but after that one brief part is over with the rest of the book was fantastic! like I said the narrator was phenomenal. solid 9/10!

Perfect! Even Stephen King would be happy!

I have the hardcover of this...The audio was just as good. Done perfectly. Thank you.

Favorite

I am a huge Stephen King fan, from a Buick eight for reasons I cannot explain is my absolutely favorite Stephen King novel. Something about the fellowship of the Pennsylvania State trooper barracks dad is portrayed in the novel inspires me, I want to be in that family

Great Listen.

Great narration. The multiple authors for the multiple characters really worked for this book.

The Buick and Book go the same place - snoozeville

The good:
State Trooper love fest - enjoyed hearing about their lives, relationships, and adventures.
Potential - there was something worth holding on for - which is why i got all the way through it.

The meh:
Stephen King's A game starts strong and takes you on a ride. This story was put in the garage and stayed there. No real buildup just a few wow moments, no major good vs evil exchanges, no pulse pounding finale. Just a bunch of "that's old Buiey in the garage, she does crazy stuff. Have a seat and we'll tell you a few."

Worth a credit? I guess but set your expectations accordingly. It's nice.
