I kept waiting for it to get scary… and it never did. But I still enjoyed it! Especially the audiobook, read by Michael C. Hall!

Not scary at all but the atmosphere was chilling. Really enjoyed the 2nd half of the book. 

El libro lo resumo en una frase del mismo libro “Sometimes dead is better” y exactamente Jorge CEO Vlogs tienes toda tu boca llena de razón y tus pensamientos claros y decisivos. La vdd si me gusto mucho y el final watajai pero muy bueno.

Si tengo muchas ganas de seguir leyendo a Stephen King

It took me longer to finish this book than normal, and partly because of how much it dealt so heavily with grief. I was expecting horror; and horrific, it was. Yet, it was the slow-burn, gentle push toward insanity, realistic fiction of it all that sold it as way to process (or not?) truly profound grief.
