Finders Keepers A Novel The Bill Hodges Trilogy Stephen King Books

So many people have already rated this book so I doubt this will be read by anyone. But here goes anyway.

These two books... Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers, though the books didn't have any other worldly characters or monsters, doesn't make it any less terrifying and leaves to our imagination that there may be some very real monsters who may live next-door and we just don't know about it.

These two books are classic King which means a total page turner and gripping suspense to the last.

Stephen King has said that he doesn't write about extra ordinary people who deal with normal things but instead he writes about regular people who are in extraordinary situations. That's almost a direct quote from him.

I enjoyed every part of it. I listened to the audible versions of these two books and say that the narrator was one of the best that I've ever heard and was so completely appropriate for these Stephen King books. Only having Stephen King narrate them could have been any better.

I highly recommend these two books and state unequivocably that this is the best "King" writing that he is done in about five years.

Finders Keepers A Novel The Bill Hodges Trilogy Stephen King Books Reviews

Bill Hodges, Jerome Robinson, and Holly Gibney return in this excellent 2nd book of the Hodges trilogy.

John Rothstein is a famous writer who has written a series called "The Runner". The primary character of the series is named Jimmy Gold. Despite the success of his series, Rothstein became somewhat of a recluse, and never published anything after the third book in the series. This didn't sit well with Morris Bellamy, an obsessed fan of the series. It was always rumored that Rothstein left notebooks containing at least one more Gold novel.

Morris and two accomplices pay a visit to Rothstein. In the ensuing encounter, Rothstein is killed and Morris finds the rumored manuscripts. He hides his treasure in an old trunk, but ends up arrested for rape and is locked away for 35 years. In the ensuing time, a boy named Pete Saubers and his family move into Morris' old house and he locates the trunk and its contents. Pete's father was injured in the Mr. Mercedes attack a few years before. Now, Bill, Jerome, and Holly must help Pete and his family, for Morris has been paroled and has come back to claim what he believes belongs to him. Will they be able to help, or will Morris get the manuscripts at the expense of Pete and his family? Bill must also deal with the unsettling feelings that Brady Hartsfield, the Mr. Mercedes killer who has been locked away in a brain injury clinic, is slowly coming out of his stupor.

Simply put, this is a great series. The characters are well-developed, the story is loaded with twists, and it keeps getting better with each book. Stephen King has done a masterful job of creating a very believable set of circumstances that the characters must work their way through, and the reader is drawn in immediately. I can't wait for the next book, "End of Watch". Highly recommended.
After reading Mr. Mercedes I had to buy this second book in the trilogy of Bill Hodges. It was like quicksand and I was sucked in immediately and instead of trying to pull myself out, which without immediate plans, I don't think that I could have anyway, I spent my Saturday with Bill and his friends. It was worth every minute and every hour. There is never a dull moment, with King's books there rarely is. What did I do before I even wrote this review? You guessed it, I bought the final book in the trilogy. I'm forcing myself to wait before I start it because I do need to spend the rest of my Saturday accomplishing something outside of the quicksand. I do, however, recommend that you download this and slip into the quicksand. Put off everything else for a while because sh#t ain't sh#t.
We have mixed feelings about the aptly titled “Finders Keepers”, a sequel of sorts to King’s earlier “Mr. Mercedes” novel. This one opens with a crazed burglar, William Morris, robbing famous author John Rothstein, who has been silent for a couple of decades, of not just cash but dozens of moleskin notebooks containing two unpublished novels and other writings – and then kills him because he doesn’t like the direction Rothstein took his hero (Jimmy Gold) in the last published work. Morris thought a rare bookstore owner was going to sell the notebooks for millions and make them both rich, but the guy refuses, saying to wait a decade or two. In frustration, Morris goes out, gets drunk, rapes and assaults a woman, and spends some 35 years in jail before he finally gets out on parole. (He had previously hidden the cash and notebooks in a trunk he buried near a pond adjoining the back of the property where he lived.)

Then we meet the Saubers who now reside in Morris’ old house; the parents of 13-year-old Peter and his younger sister Tina are struggling in both their marriage and their finances. Peter stumbles upon the buried treasure and parcels out the money to his parents anonymously through the mail with like $500 payments for several years. He meanwhile reads all the author’s writings and loves them and thinks about trying to sell the notebooks to guess who – the same guy who refused Morris. Meanwhile his sister Tina suspects Peter was the source of the monthly cash and tells retired cop Bill Hodges, the guy who solved the case in the prequel. Hodges tries to intervene with Peter before it gets too late.

When Morris gets out of prison and finds his trunk empty, he suspects the book dealer and on we go. The suspense heightens as he discovers it was Peter who took all; and he doesn’t care who he has to kill to get the stuff back.

We think this would have made a great novella – without the follow-up to the earlier book which was somewhat tangential. As is, it was sort of long and drawn out despite a catchy premise and a suspenseful ending. Several readers find deeper meaning in the obsession of first Morris and then Peter with the author and his works, but we didn’t work hard enough to figure out what that might be. We love our good books too, but not to the point of murder and skullduggery!
