I gave it a 4. Not perfect, but very very good. I re-read a few years ago for the first time in a very long time and it still held up for me. I still particularly like all of the lyrical references to songs about cars King makes at the beginning of each chapter. It'd make for a good playlist.
I gave it a 3. It was a decent story, but nothing to write home about.

A 3 for me, too. Really dragged in places.
I gave this one a 1. I hated this book. It took forever for me to even get through it.
I gave it a 4 for the same reason I gave Thinner a 4. It was a little better than okay and I would have felt like a liar if I'd made it a 3.
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”-Mark Twain
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me....Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.

Ooph, harsh, Aaron. But I can't disagree. Like I said, I had to really labor through some parts. But I remember others vividly and fondly. So, average.
This one gets a 2. It was ok, but never warranted a second look for me.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.

3 , and thats all I can say except even as an average SK novel it was worth reading.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
4 from me. I really enjoyed it.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)
bears are back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm between a 3 & a 4 on this one - I'll give it a 3.
Not a bad tale but it's never had the big re-read pull on me (I mean I've read it a few times but not as often as many of kings)
I gave it a 5. It was my first King book ever and still stands up as a good story on a reread
Also, like Jayson, I love the way lyrics are used in this tale.
4. One of about 10 kings that I would recommend to someone who has never read anything by King. Very original. I would have never though of a plot about a demonic car of all things. I wonder if Maximum Overdrive sprung from this seed, or vice-versa.
Also, From a Buick 8. Hmmmmm....
Also, I must say that using a Plymouth Fury is absolute genius.
