Book Description:
Todd Bowden is an apt pupil. Good grades, good family, a paper route. But he is about to meet a different kind of teacher: Mr. Dussander. Todd knows all about Dussander's darl past. The torture. The death. The decades-old manhunt Dussander has escaped to this day. Yet Todd doesn't want to turn him in. Todd wants to know more. Much more. He is about to learn the real meaning of power--and the seductive lure of evil.

Very good. It is one of King's most popular novels.

This is one of Stephen King's more creepy novels. I never saw the movie they made from this, and I'm not really sure how it would compare to the novel. There are many extremely disturbing scenes, and it leaves you really wondering about the twisted psyches of murderers. This is not Stephen King's usual horror mixed with fantasy -- the true horror of the novel is that it stems from actual historical events. Don't listen alone!
