This was a re-read after having read it in my senior year of high school 15 years ago, I loved it then, I love it now. My first cultural exposure to this story was watching The Pagemaster when I was little, so I've almost always known the story, but how I wish I didn't! I can only imagine the impact of reading this book unspoiled for the first time. Still, I really enjoy the mystery and the atmosphere of this book and recommend it to any horror enthusiasts.
