Pensilvania, 1979. Llega un extraño a una gasolinera para repostar. Conduce un Buick modelo 1954 pero en perfecto estado. El conductor va al baño y nunca reaparece. La policía se hace cargo del coche, que ahora no funciona, y lo guarda en una nave detrás de la comisaría. Y aquí empieza una historia escalofriante, la historia de un coche con su propia vida, perversa y maliciosa. Los agentes siguen su trabajo, pero el coche de vez en cuando interviene: a veces sus radios y teléfonos no funcionan. A veces el coche empieza a moverse, a producir relámpagos y el maletero se abre para escupir objetos indescriptibles… Hasta parece que es responsable de varias muertes, entre ellas la del agente Wilcox. En el otoño de 2001 el hijo del fallecido agente empieza a trabajar en la comisaría y decide que ha de saber la verdad del Buick 8.

There’s several aspects of this storyline and the MC that I really like. The magic is interesting and there are a few moments that kept me reading - excited to see what happens next.

Unfortunately, in the end, I was really frustrated with the direction (or lack of) in the book. There were several individual chapters that seemed like “filler” and after finishing the book, I feel like it was just a waste of time. Too many uncharacteristic changes by the MC that seem to have no value on the plot. I forced myself to finish it, hoping some chapter would pull things together and make me want to read the next one…. I don’t think I’ll be finishing this series.

7/2/21 - listened to the audiobook this time around and I didn't care of it nearly as much as the ebook. I also enjoyed the story less this time...

Rereading with the Mostly Lesfic group!
Just finished and still love it. Same rating as first read.

Review of 'From a Buick 8' on 'Goodreads'

Similar idea to Christine but smoother writing, it does feel more grown up. Very sinister at times, probably not a good book to read whilst taking yer driving test... unless you are learning in an evil car then go ahead and read it.

I read this quite a few years ago now, I do find that King's books tend to blend together a bit over time, probably a bad sign, still I remember falling asleep whilst reading this.
