"When you're five and you hurt, you make a big noise unto the world. At ten you whimper. But by the time you make fifteen you begin to eat the poisoned apples that grow on your own inner tree of pain."

This was my first Stephen King read and I thought it was dull and lifeless. Essentially the entire book is a group of teens conversing unnaturally with a lot of unnecessary sexually explicit dialogue. I was bored the entire time. I love a good psychological horror but this didn’t hit the mark for me.

I'm feeling cheated. So, I read a book about a shooting in a school, and I think we'll is a thriller. Not really!!! This guy kills two teachers and makes his classmates hostages. And I think that must be a good story. Wrong!! The whole time they were in therapy. Solving teenager's problems. Next time go to a psychiatrist, you don't need to point a gun to your friends.
