Stephen King
Curt's avid curiosity took the lead, and they investigated as best they could, as much as they dared. Over the years, the troop absorbed the mystery as part of the background to their work, the Buick 8 sitting out there like a still-life painting that breathes - inhaling a little bit of this world, exhaling a little bit of whatever world it came from.
In the fall of 2001, a few months after Curt Wilcox is killed in a gruesome auto accident, his 18-year-old boy, Ned, starts coming by the barracks. Sandy Dearborn, Sergeant Commanding, knows it's the boy's way of holding onto his father, and Ned is allowed to become part of the Troop D family. One day he looks in the window of Shed B and discovers the family secret. Like his father, Ned wants answers...
From a Buick 8 is an audiobook about our fascination with deadly things, about our insistence on answers when there are none, about terror and courage in the face of the unknowable.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Nearly flawless and one terrific entertainment." (Publishers Weekly)
"A wonderful example of how much King's plotting skills and literary finesse have matured over his long career. And, most of all, it's a darn creepy book." (Amazon.com)

I think Stephen King has a way of creating fictional locations within real places that is different than many authors, to me it always seems like you could go find them if you could only find the right exit off the highway. Troop D's barracks and shed B in rural Pennsylvania are no exceptions; it has to be there, doesn't it?! The standard SK surreal events, mangled eye, and horrifying ways to die are all present and accounted for. Which isn't to say that this is a below average book. This author's one of a kind ideas about monsters and aliens is what makes this one so fun.
Good story and Great Presentation

I loved the story from when I read it, so I'm biased there. If you're a fan of stories that are inexplicable, strange, and not always resolved completely, this is a great one.
Absolutely top notch.

The first three quarters of this book are brilliant, and the slow build up in tension regarding the mystery of the Buick and what it is able to produce is outstanding. Then the climax hits about three quarters in and its absolutely amazing and terrifying, and makes a statement about the nature of mankind and subtley hints at answers to questions from earlier, and then King feels the need to keep writing...
He then attempts to one up the perfect climax with a second, mind-numbingly stupid one that feels hokey, forced and completely unnecessary that spoon feeds you answers to questions you kind of already figured out, including is the car actually alive and malicious or is it just a dangerous but inadimate object? He makes sure to bludgeon us caveman style with that answer by the very end.
I suppose he felt since the majority of the story takes place within flashbacks he felt another climax should happen in the present day timeline of the book. It really wasn't needed. The shock of the 1988 climax combined with the potential of what could happen next should have closed the story out, but instead he had to turn it into a traditional good vs evil scenario and make the ending all "feel-good" and happy. The threat is gone. No need to fret.
The audio version is even more enjoyable because as the story is told from the collective memories of a group of people they use various actors to share the respective accounts. All of them are brilliant but the late James Rehborn steals the show with his soft spoken, calm but wise demeanor casually narrating such crazy incidents, adding to the whole "we're used to it, it's normal" theme of the novel.
My advice is to stop listening after the 1988 climax. You'll most definately know ot when it happens.
Too many climaxes damn it
