Riding the Bullet

Loved it! Stephen King\’s books are always the best surprise because no two stories are ever alike so you never know what\’s coming. This book was just as entertaining as I\’ve come to expect a King story to be. I often wonder how he can come up with so many original ideas-and this one is just as original. I usually can\’t abide short stories, mostly because there isn\’t enough time to get to know the characters and then just when you get into the story, it ends. Not this one. King has once again made me eat my words. Almost from the very first page I knew & liked the main character. Another surprise for me was feeling like I got my monies worth-the story was the perfect length. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute and felt like the story got told. Just right. 🙂 HIGHLY RECOMMEND! 😀

Oboy, this was classic Stephen King, stressing psychological horror rather than blood and guts. The main character and narrater is a college student hitching a ride to visit his mother who was just hospitalized after having a stroke. He is picked up by several drivers, and the last driver is maybe a ghost, maybe the grim reaper, maybe a messager from the beyond? The driver gives the student a choice and while you can understand why the student made the choice he did, you are left on edge wondering how and when the payment will be due.

Gave this book four stars due to the old type language used by a few characters in this book. This type of language makes it hard got me to read and understand. Otherwise, we\’ll developed plot, kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. I would recommend this book to my friends.

Maybe a few. If so, not many. Perhaps another Stephen King novella. Perhaps a wild carnival ride. Perhaps an-almost-too-fast automobile … if there were such a thing. …

This is a great old fashioned ghost story the likes of which don\’t really get written much anymore. As with almost all of Mr. King\’s work it was masterfully crafted and hooked me from the first page. The way he crafted a deserted cemetary in the middle of nowhere and made you feel like you were there reminded me of \”Salem\’s Lot\” and was almost as scary. The characters are well fleshed out (wether they\’re alive or dead) and the story just picks you up and takes you away. A great read in the style of classic KIng.
