From A Buick 8

From A Buick 8, is the story of unfinished business, unanswerable questions, and unexplainable events. When a strange Buick Roadmaster is abandoned in a gas station parking lot, by and even stranger individual, the Pennsylvanian State Police Department take the car to shed B. But with the disappearance of trooper Ennis the rest of the troop discover there is more to the car than what they see. There is a whole world behind it. The Buick is a gateway between our world and the world of the creature it gives birth too.

I really enjoyed the book. Not one of my favorites by him, but I cruised through it pretty quickly. I love the narrative style, basically a camp fire tale, that shifts between a first person (while at the campfire) to third person (while telling the story of the Buick). There is also shifting narrators, because each Trooper gives their own angle on the events of the Buick. Content wise, I thought it was great. I love monsters and the idea of parallel universes is something I also find interesting so this book was right up my ally.  I picked the book up because, firstly I loved Christine and also the feelings Ned had about his father's death really interested me. While my Dad and Ned's Dad died in completely different ways, they were both completely random and unexplainable. King has a way with words that completely explain something so complex and idea that is normally difficult to explain.One issue I had with the book, and I have with most of Kings books(especially Tommyknockers), is that they tend to go on long tangents about, presumably,  non issues. Obviously this isn't the case; they are important. The tangents are an attempt to build a frame around the events of the story, so I forgive him. And his writing style makes it easy to trudge through. Overall the book was a really good read, i'd recommend it.
