Just average for me. 3.
This one is all over the map right now.
This one never really grabbed me but it was relatively short and quick to read. I gave it a 3.

maybe a 4 plus. Maybe even two pluses. But not quite enough love to move the needle, say sorry.
Only a 2, sorry Jean. Just didnt grab my attention....too abstract.

2, was a task finishing it. Parts I loved but it had a habit of dying out.

Never read. Quick summary, anyone?
I would say put it towards the bottom of your must read for SK but Jean would kill me.
Did I type that out loud? Oops.

Hopefully without spoiling:
The story is almost a ghoststory of sorts narrated by a police officer about a ghost car that they have had in their possession for some time. The car has some similarities to christine, in that it can heal itself and seems immune to aging, etc. However, it is likely a portal to another world, and has malicious intents. Some very strange happenings are associated with the car (strange lights, plants and animals from other worlds). All of the officers seem to have a story to relate about the car, and they are obviously afraid of it. The main character in the story discovers that the car and he have a mysterious history together.
The story is also a homage to H.P Lovecrafts "From Beyond" which shares thematic and plot elements.

Loved this story, a 5 from me
The story of the police officers is the big pull for me, with the car kind of being secondary
Yes.
To bears, it was a story of memories and love

I owned this book for years, then finally read it just to check it off the list. I don't know why, but I expected it to be so-so and was at peace with that going in. Imagine my surprise when I found that I loved this story. Jean's posts summarize my feelings and "rating" well.
