It was about time for me to get off of my fantasy reading kick and try something else. I decided on some horror. It took me a while to decide which horror book I wanted to read. I don't feel you can go too much by ratings on this type of book. What scares me might not scare another and vice versa. So I grabbed up this one and decided to have at it.
I really liked it. Although this book did not scare me it did make me think. I thought about the evil inside of people and how sometimes it doesn't take much to have it come out. This in itself is pretty scary. Even though I didn't get scared, I enjoyed reading it. I enjoyed narrator of the story - Robbie and all the other characters. I ended up having pretty distinct feelings for each one. I really like that in a story. As for the story line itself, I thought it was really good. It was kind of like the movie "The Mist" but still able to stand on it's own.
Not sure if this book will scare you. Like I said, everyone has there own idea on what terrifies them. I still would recommend it for an easy and entertaining read.
