Unpopular Opinion:
I've started and stopped this book at least a dozen times, and I don't understand the hype. I've also never seen the movie so that didn't influence my opinion.

wow! Masterfully crafted, super spooky, my only complaint is that it took a while for things to build up, I feel like the first half, although necessary, was a little boring.
