The first half of this book hooked me. The author (who is a good writer) is obviously channeling Stephen King, but where the book falls short in my opinion is the second half. There are too many climaxes. When you think things can't get worse for the characters they do, and when you think there isn't anything else that can go wrong it does, and the last 300 pages are just too much of that. There isn't enough of a satisfying ending to make up for it either.
It had my attention in the first half enough where I wanted to read what happens but the second half was too much. Should have wrapped it up in 100 pages I stead of 300.
