Book Two, Holly

Strongly recommend you reading Mr. Mercedes before reading this. It is also the second book to read before getting to Holly (2023). This lives up to King's typically writing style. He knows how to keep the reader engaged, fill in the…

For those who loved Mr Mercedes, you will probably wonder how this fits into the Bill Hodges trilogy. For much of the first half of the book and beyond, it tells of a kid, Pete Saubers, who finds a trunk full of cash in the woods near his…

I found this book enjoyable to read as it was well crafted and up to Stephen King's usual high standard.

Wonderful! The first half of the book goes by without a hint of Bill, Holly, or Jerome, but when they do show up? Buckle up! This is such a good story about the good and bad feelings readers can develop towards characters and/or authors.…

A great novel once again by the one and only, Stephen King. Finished it the day after I got it, it's an amazing book.

Another great read from Stephen King. In his second book of the Mr. Mercedes trilogy, Stephen King grabbed my attention from the very first chapter. Although the first book was very intense and gory, this story brought a different level of…

I read Mr. Mercedes a few years back and loved it. It's taken me a long time to get around to reading this second installment in the "Bill Hodges" series, but I'm glad a vacation gave me the opportunity to dig into this one. I don't read…

This book by the master of horror is supposed to be a mystery but it is more of a crime thriller because there’s not a lot of sleuthing going on here. In fact, the lead character, Bill Hodges, doesn’t uncover much at all, his assistant…

Finders Keepers is a boring novel by Stephen King. The book is long. He really didn't need to write a trilogy about the serial killer from Mr. Mercedes, (his first book in the trilogy.) It just seems redundant because the characters are…

Good story but it took almost 1/3 of the book before Bill Hodges entered. I wanted to read it because I liked the Hodges character. Disappointing that it took so long for that character to get there.

Stephen King once compared his work to the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries. Quick, easy, maybe unhealthy, and might make you feel guilty for having consumed it. I feel that this is the perfect metaphor for Finders Keepers. …

Great read. I liked how the characters are intertwined with other King novels.

well....beginning and end especially the end was well done..everything in between couldn't wait to finish....did a lot of speed reading....a disappointing novel...cant wait to read the last of the trilogy End of Watch

I love the groundwork being laid here for the coming final novel in the series. We are introduced to the main characters, Bill Hodges, Jerome, and Holly in the first novel. Finders Keepers continues the already established dynamics of this…

Not as good as Mr Mercedes but still enjoyable.

It was a little difficult for me to get into, but once I found my rhythm, it was smooth sailing! I enjoyed the book and I didn't have to read Mr. Mercedes to understand Finders Keepers.

I loved this book! Mr. Mercedes was the first Stephen King I'd read because I'm not into horror. I liked it quite a bit so I read Finders Keepers and it was way better than Mr. Mercedes. Totally gripping. You have to read Mr. Mercedes…

Literally could not put this down. Even better than Mr. Mercedes by a landslide. I wish I could forget what it was about so I could read it all over again.

Definitely a good read from King and second novel in this private eye trilogy, but laying the track for the the rising action and climax is slow and takes 250 pages or so. And the ending hints at a possible veering back into…

I won't be redundant and bemoan the mellowing of Mr. King. I just tried to read and enjoy the ride. It actually turned out to be a well written story. It does , however give me hope for the horror's to come. As they say " the third time is…

The second book of a trilogy mostly sets us up for the big bangs of the final novel. Continuing the story of Hodge he comes to the aid of a family who was devastated by the rampage of Mr. Mercedes. There are a few peeps from Mr. Mercedes…

Good, not supernatural. Not his best but still a page turner.
