DESCRIPTION:
Not since Misery has King played with the notion of a reader whose obsession with a writer gets dangerous. "Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. Finders Keepers is spectacular, heart-pounding suspense, but it is also King writing about how literature shapes a life - for good, for bad, forever.. Mercedes. Morris kills Rothstein and empties his safe of cash, yes, but the real treasure is a trove of notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel. Morris Bellamy is livid, not just because Rothstein has stopped providing books but because the nonconformist Jimmy Gold has sold out for a career in advertising. Morris hides the money and the notebooks, and then he is locked away for another crime. Decades later a boy named Pete Saubers finds the treasure, and now it is Pete and his family that Bill Hodges, Holly Gibney, and Jerome Robinson must rescue
Stephen said Pure Stephen king. So many people have already rated this book so I doubt this will be read by anyone. But here goes anyway.These two books Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers, though the books didn't have any other worldly characters or monsters, doesn't make it any less terrifying and leaves to our imagination that there may be some very real monsters who may live next-door and we just don't know about it.These two books are classic King which means a total page turner and gripping suspense to the last.Stephen King has said that he doesn't write about extra ordinary people who deal with normal things but. "Catchy premise and suspenseful ending, but longish plot to get there - sequel rather tangential" according to Jerry Bull. We have mixed feelings about the aptly titled “Finders Keepers”, a sequel of sorts to King’s earlier “Mr. Mercedes” novel. This one opens with a crazed burglar, William Morris, robbing famous author John Rothstein, who has been silent for a couple of decades, of not just cash but dozens of moleskin notebooks containing two unpublished novels and other writings – and then kills him because he doesn’t like the direction Rothstein took his hero (Jimmy Gold) in the last published work. Morris thought a rare bookstore owner was going to sell the no. No disappointment, great story but predictable I really enjoyed this story. Stephen King is such an excellent writer, and it was truly a joy to read. It was clear, came together well, made sense, and had a very appropriate ending with a few minor unexpected twists. The characters are well thought out, complete, and developed in a way that few authors can rival. Pace is excellent, and everything here happens for a reason - there are no loose ends or extraneous scenarios that leave you wondering "what was he trying to do here?". This is a thrill ride that is hard to put down.You do not need to have read the first book in this 'serie
