This my first real horror book and it was terrifying but I loved it and want more. That small town vibe with dark secrets delving into the supernatural was so gripping. I loved it.

It was quite slow at the beginning, but then it gets a lot more interesting quickly.

my first stephen king book; not a huge fan of his writing style. after about halfway through the book i was bored of it and was just reading it to be done. the premise was scary enough i guess, just wish the writing could match up to it.

I've owned this book for so long and I'm so glad that I finally read it. I can definitely see the appeal and I can see why people love this book so much, but it's definitely not one of my favorites. This is one of the only Stephen King books that I've read that I actually thought kinda dragged on, but I didn't mind it as much as 'Salem's Lot.
