Holy money what a book I read it in one day and never wanted to put it down. The book is compelling frightening and let's just say I definitely put a lock on my phone and look over my shoulder now.

OH MY GOOOOOOSH THIS BOOK!!

This is by far the creepiest book I have ever read. Being inside of Joe's head is amazing and disturbing. You get to experience how screwed up he is, but from his perspective it's everyone else that's messed up.

Beck was just awful. I hated her and her friends so much. I never really felt sad when they died, but I was never rooting for them to be killed. Joe is definitely the bad guy here, no gray areas at all. 

I probably won't watch the show, and I don't think I'll continue with the series either. This was a good standalone and I like the way it ended.

This is one of the few books I would entertain the idea that the show was better than the book.

This wasn’t a favorite book of mine because of how creepy it was to read, but it did exactly what it said it was going to do. I think how the story was delivered was most definitely brilliant and as Stephen King even blurbed “scary” and “totally original”.
