I think the book was fantastic, it kept me interested and turning the pages. A really good read in true Stephen King style!

I often find people who have never read Stephen King dismissive of his novels based on the thought that they are "cheap horror books" or bad simply based on the horrible movies often made (for-tv no less) from them. Although I'm biased, those people should try some of his "less horrific" novels before judging - like Bag of Bones, Lisey's Story or Dolores Claiborne before judging. Many of these books center on the loss of a loved one (wife, husband, daughter respectively) and the haunting related to that loss which is beautifully and hauntingly written.
