4.5 ⭐
So much better than the first book of the trilogy, [b:Mr. Mercedes|18775247|Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1)|Stephen King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1468705326l/18775247._SY75_.jpg|26680281]. I would've given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the next book. I don't really understand why the majority seen to dislike this volume.
I may be in the minority in this regard but I love it when King does the non-linear narration and the first part of this book was like that.
I thoroughly enjoyed this volume, Morris' story is a lot like [b:Misery|10614|Misery|Stephen King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1554220401l/10614._SY75_.jpg|3230869] and there was even a direct reference to the story too.
My favorite characters were Pete and Morris but while Bill annoyed me in the first book and still did a little up to some point, I liked him a bit more in this book.
Unlike [b:Mr. Mercedes|18775247|Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1)|Stephen King|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1468705326l/18775247._SY75_.jpg|26680281] ending, the ending of this book was unpredictable for the most part.
