I am a fan of King's work, and this book was exceptional. It had my at the edge of my seat more than once. Definitely worth the money.

Pleasantly Surprised

This was the first Stephen King that I had read in over 20 years. Initially I could not get enough of his books and consumed them non-stop from our local library, after a while I noticed his pattern and his writing became predictable - in my opinion. This book ... this book was from fresh mold!

This book was a great listen, it took a while to get used to raspy voice but eventually the narration became part of the story and I loved it. Well worth the listen.

Brilliant!

What made the experience of listening to Mr Mercedes the most enjoyable?

Stephen King is a great writer and understands all the ways to keep you on the edge of your seat. Also, Will Paton is a great storyteller. This is win-win combination.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Absolutely. I think it's just the way the story was written and read. The pace is just right and it never lets up. My mind usually wanders when listening to books or I can't wait for the book to end so that I can listen to a new one, but this never happened while listening to Mr Mercedes and it's quite a long book.

Have you listened to any of Will Patton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, but I'll definately look out for other books written by him.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The chase is on!

Any additional comments?

Credit well spent!

Superb!

Excellent narration. Compelling narrative with a vicious sense of humor. The best audio book I've listened to.

Superb in every way.

My wife recommended Mr Mercedes to me earlier this year and I’m so happy I finally got the time to listen. Will Patton’s narration had me hooked from the get-go. I found the vocal changes introducing a new chapter very clever as it would lead you to that characters story. And hats off to Stephen King for such an exceptionally written book.

I’m looking forward to my wife’s next recommendation.
