Big Driver
Big Driver | Stephen King
7 posts | 13 read | 8 to read
Now a Lifetime original movie, Stephen King's haunting story about an author of a series of mystery novels who tries to reconcile her old life with her life after a horrific attack and the one thing that can save her: Revenge. Tess Thorne, a famous mystery writer, faces a long drive home following a book signing engagement. Advised to take a shortcut at the suggestion of the events planner, Tess sets out for home, well after dark. On a lonely stretch of New England road, her tire blows out, and when a man in a pick up stops, it is not to help her, but to repeatedly assault her and leave her for dead. Tess survives, and she plots a revenge that will bring her face-to-face with another stranger: the one inside herself, capable of gruesome violence. This story was originally published in Stephen Kings acclaimed collection, Full Dark, No Stars.

About half way through...
I know not everyone is going to have the same reaction to traumas, but did the reactions just not ring true for anyone else? There were also a couple of anatomical references that, I don‘t know. I was just taken out of the story bc I thought, “You really should have gone and asked Tabitha a question about how girls pee.” 🤷🏻‍♀️

Bookzombie I read this so long ago that I can‘t remember those details. I will have to reread it sometime. 6y

I really had to think through if there had ever been a time I #sawthemoviefirst I have been a Constant Reader since Carrie was published. However, I then remembered that I saw Big Driver before I read Full Dark, No Stars. Loved the book and the movie. #stephenking17

Josie UGHHH this one. You know why I couldn't finish it! One day, I will. 7y
Gayan @Josie I know. 7y
JulAnna This one was hard for me too! I couldn't come up with any! 7y

#stephenking17 Day 6 I like a number of the women in SK's books, but I'm going to with Tess from Big Driver, one of the stories in Full Dark, No Stars. She survives a horrible experience, but gets revenge. (I don't advocate revenge, just like it in a story. ☺️) #favfemalecharacter

Also, I forgot this was a movie on Lifetime so now I'm going to look for that.

Gayan I really liked the movie. 7y
Sweettartlaura I loved the audiobook for this - it was enthralling, & just the perfect length for a single listen. 7y
Bookzombie @Gayan I'm going to watch it sometime soon. @Sweettartlaura I think I may reread in the future and do audio. 🙂 7y
Gayan The audio was fantastic, it reeled me right in and I couldn't stop. 7y

I listened to this on Audible. Read by Jessica Hecht, with the main character a woman, it's almost hard to believe a man had anything to do with this story. It's that convincing. Just another little gem by the Master for his Constant Readers.
