This was a gripping roller-coaster of emotions and actions!
I couldn't put the book down, I really need to find out what would happen to the characters.

This one was the novel I was more excited to read. I was expecting to like more than I did. I'm not sure if it was the end, or something else.

Can a Stephen King story have a happy ending? Seems to be possible.
The premise of the story is quite interesting, specially if has a kid you used to go to the library. In my case I use to go to school libraries. My local library was quite far away, and it was BIG!, and I was afraid to miss the delivery date of the book and be shamed in front of everyone, I was even afraid that something happened to the book...
Fear lodges himself in the weirdest places.
And fear is something Stephen King likes to play with. The existence of The Library Policemen is a very interesting premise.
And besides I'm only mentioning childhood fears, the characters of the book are grownups.
The main character is Sam Peebles and through the story he will have to rediscover his fear for libraries, and before the end he will have to face one of his childhood fears (and everything he did do forget about it) in order to survive The Library Policeman.

It's a prequel to [b:Needful Things|107291|Needful Things|Stephen King|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1315767817s/107291.jpg|1812101] and also related with [b:The Dark Half|13603217|The Dark Half|Stephen King|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1334507640s/13603217.jpg|1316297]
A true horror story, specially recommended if you're a fan of old Polaroids and are not afraid of dogs. Read at your own will.
