I'm not really sure if I truly *enjoyed* this book, but it's definitely going to leave a lasting impression. It's well-written, with just the right amount of tension and horror without being overly graphic or stressful.

I want more answers about Gary.

Also, if you're one of those people that needs to know about the welfare of the animals in movies/books:

Victor the dog dies on-page and it's awful; the 2 huskies Tom and Jules bring home also die, but off-page. There's also a scene near the end where a large number of birds die, also on-page. I'm sorry.
