I was dancing between 4 and 5 stars the whole time, but in the end I just couldn't give it the same rating as Mr. Mercedes, it's not as good. Pacing is weird, it was so long before action really began and then everything came together with way too much lucky coincidences and intuitive thinking. Wasn't fan of showing up of supernatural elements with Brady, I liked Mr. Mercedes so much precisely because it was good old realistic thriller, but written in King's style.
