Review: King sure loves his cars!

Mile 81 will make you think twice of station wagons with muddy-covered windows and car doors that creak open. No spoilers but the ending was underwhelming and seemed a bit rushed. The best parts for me were King's incredible characterization skills (man, he's good!) and cleverly scattered horror humor. The story itself is almost a series of character sketches glued together with a loose sci-fi horror plot.Yes, King sure loves his cars :) I preferred his story "Trucks" fromNight Shiftover Mile 81 but this is a passable Stephen King tale that fellow Constant Readers will enjoy. Better than having your eyeballs burned by a magnifying glass ;)
