I highly recommend the book if have the chance to read it.

LK, glad to know it holds up on re-readings. I’m too much of a chicken to read Stephen King–or most other horror writers for that matter–so I’m not up on contemporary books. But if you find one equal to Jackson, please let me know!

And it’s good on rereadings, too.

I’d love to know of a current contemporary book that can deliver on the writing, character development and plot such as this book does!
