Finders Keepers

Book 2 of the Bill Hodges Trilogy set before, around and after the first book. The first part is some of King's best writing, but the strange thing is that the story is better when Bill Hodges isn't in it, and that's a large chunk of it. It kind of changes the tone when he arrives on the scene, a bit like when Scrappy Doo turns up in Scooby Doo. The bits with Hartfield in them remind me of the film Patrick and I'm looking forward to reading that one.
