One of King's best! I was totally creeped out by this book and the feeling lasted for days. There isn't a person out there who can read this book and not find themselves a little nervous when they hear a noise late at night when the house is all nice and quiet. I couldn't put this book down...it was so unsettling that I tried to set it aside but I found myself picking it back up again. As usual, King's characters jump off the page and right into your head. You will think about these people for a long time after you read the last page, I guarantee it.
When I read this book for the first time, I wanted to lock it up somewhere and never open it again. But I couldn't do it, It kept pulling at me and I finished it in two days. It is scary on a level much grater than ghost and ghouls. It scares you from the inner most part of your heart. Stephen King knows better than any other how reach inside the human mind and find the things that scare them most. Its not the thing that goes BOO in the night. Its the real world things, the things you only think of at night when your in your bed alone but when the morning comes its the farthest thing from your mind. The things you only think of in your secret mind and never say out loud. This is a must read for readers of any Genre.
Scary good... better than the movie.
