Finished Full Dark, No Stars. Relished the sheer verve of King's story-telling. Couldn't wait to finish each of the four and loved the sense of variation among the first three. The final story, A Good Marriage, is in broad terms along the same lines as Big Driver though, but since I loved the second tale that was no bad thing.
Spent some time considering just how King manages to grip each and every time, but came up with no answers - except, possibly, his own obvious complete immersion in all four stories. As someone who has major problems putting together even a simple storyline I can only admire from a distance.
Now embarking on Val McDermid's A Place Of Execution. I need to become a real reader again.
