  My Thoughts

  Stephen King gave this book a great review and since I love Stephen Kings books I was very intrigued. I wasn't disappointed. A very good horror novel. Kept me engrossed. I read it in just over 24 hours.

  As we followed the group throughout the story, I stared to care less and less for them. The book seemed to drag on and on. I was excited at first and really got into the story. The middle lost me somewhere. At the end I was listening to hear what happened, only to be disappointed in the end. The boo ... (continue)

The middle lost me somewhere. At the end I was listening to hear what happened, only to be disappointed in the end. The book had such possibility, but just fell short. All in all, an okay book, but I wouldn't bother reading it unless you have some time to kill.

  Suprisingly creepy story, I thought the premise would be to odd to pull off but Smith created a very suspensful page turner.

  A little disappointing after having read A Simple Plan. The story is good and it is is true that you can't stop reading it. But the quality of the writing is not so good, and if it wasn't because you want to see how the main story goes on, there are moments when the book is just boring. Through the story thoughts of the main characters, circumstances and events tend to repeat over and over again.

  This story had great potential but I felt it was a little stale. It fell flat. I knew how it would end halfway through the story. I was also disappointed that there wasn't any real explaination of the why's or how's. This of course is just my opinion and many others like it.
