I enjoyed reading this book, I found it fairly gripping and creepy. 
The problem for me is...
MASSIVE SPOILER AHEAD!!! THIS WILL RUIN THE ENDING AND THE MYSTERY OF THE WHOLE BOOK!!!!

It loses points for me because of the ending, the revelation that The Creeper is not a supernatural being. I feel that this doesn't make sense given that various people were followed and stalked by the Creeper and we know that even after years it would still kill them if they saw it. I also don't know how these people who were severely injured to the point of such deformity that they no longer resemble humans were able to stalk and kill the characters we've been told about, traveling great distances and overpowering every one- surely the victims would have been able to outrun the Creeper at least!
I also just thought that the supernatural explanation we were given in the book was so dark and compelling it's a shame that that was just thrown away.
