Really really enjoyed this book. This was one of my starting points when I started to read King again and it hooked me right from the start. Just finished Wizard and Glass last night and really enjoyed that one too! Loved getting to find out more about Roland. Salom's Lot is next up, I haven't read that in over 20 years (I read that in junior high!) and I want to enjoy it as part of the extended Dark Tower reading. Keep up the great videos Brian, really enjoying your content, even if my wallet doesn't.
Love the Hodges Trilogy. I put every book I read into tiers when I'm done with them (S tier, A tier, B tier, etc). I had all 3 Hodges books in the S-tier. And btw there IS a mass market paperback for Mr. Mercedes. I saw one at HPB just the other day. Also, Brady Hartsfield is a top-10 King villain IMO. And I know a lot of ppl didn't care for the supernatural aspect of End of Watch, but I thought it was pretty dope
The third book in the Holly Gibney trilogy entitled Holly is due out in September this year…She is first introduced in Mr. Mercedes…The first two books in the trilogy are Book 1 The Outsider and the standalone novella entitled If it Bleeds from the book of the same name is the second story in the trilogy and then the last book in the trilogy entitled Holly is due to come out September 5th this year…It’s a great time to start reading or to do a reread of the Bill Hodges Trilogy and the first two Holly Gibney books in preparation for the new release of the final book in September
There *is* a mass market paperback of this book, the cover features a run over umbrella with tire tracks. There’s also a TV tie-in mass market paperback edition.
I finished this novel a couple weeks ago, I’ve been speed-running King’s novels for a few months now. Mr. Mercedes was easily one of the best books I ever picked up, the intensity and the tension carried throughout the entire novel made this a wicked page turner.
Great review! Sounds like a solid thriller. I wouldn't call it a murder mystery if we know the identity of the killer from the beginning, and if there are no limited number of suspects; but that's just my opinion. Looking forward to more Stephen King reviews. 🙂👍
Stephen King was my favorite author when I was younger, and I have all his books up to CELL, I think. But he kind of lost me with his later books, somehow, the magic was gone. Maybe I should come back to read his newer ones, I also heard very good things about THE INSTITUTE …
I really liked the institute. You may wanna read the outsider first, it has more of the horror elements from earlier works. Both are some of my favorite recent king works
@@seanhalpin87 Oh, okay, thanks for tip! I’m not necessarily looking for the horror elements … it’s more that I had the feeling that in his earlier books, he put about 100 ideas in a big book, and later, he stretched merely one idea over endless pages … but that’s just the way I see it, I know a lot of people that doesn’t feel this way …
Interesting topic with these specific books. I have sent you a DM on Instagram, Brian, because there is an issue with the German translation. i Hope you can give some clear words on my question.
This trilogy is easily my favorite King work
This is a great series of books. The television series with Brendan Gleeson was really well done too!

I read Mr. Mercedes this month. Freaking loved it. Can’t wait for the second book!
Great review! Picking up this trilogy again soon to get ready for the release of Holly later this year.
Where did you get your Christine shirt? I love it 😍
Great review. Just enough to get me hooked without giving too much away. I’m going to buy this now.

I'm watching the tv series right now and I'm loving it. Can't wait to read the books.

I just finished Mr Mercedes today and loved it! I’ve not read the series but hope to get through it before Holly is released 👍
Chomping at the bit for King's next book - Holly.
