Everyone knows about this particular story, for those who don’t, here’s a short summary:
Behind the new house of Louis Creed and his family lies a sematary for pets, but beyond that is a lesser known and more feared sematary which was an ancient burial ground with magic of it’s own. Whilst his wife and children are away, the family cat gets run over and he gets told by his neighbour about the other sematary and the cat after burial comes back to life, but (obviously) isn’t too happy about it and so on until it gets normal to bury all his dead in the alternative sematary.
My question is, is he a concerned father who wants to keep his daughter happy, who would be distraught to find her beloved pet cat dead or was he thinking that he would be blamed for the death of the cat and wouldn’t be the best dad in the world anymore (as far as the daughter was concerned)?
The semetary itself is an old Indian burial sight and has its own eerie powers. Now c'mon if someone told you about a place like this you would be curious, sure you would enough to probably go and take a look. But i know I wouldn't test it out and bury my pet there. Why didnt he just buy a new one???
I found this book, although entertaining, not unpredictable. I enjoyed the book, but I also like to find an element of surprise or horror. Not Stephen Kings best, but an early one, so I’ll let him off.

I thought that the predictableness of the story sort of heightened the dread - you knew what was going to happen - but you didn't want it to happen. Ellie.

It must be an early one, it is new to me. Must look it up.....Robin
Advantages: Excellent storyline and characters, nice setting, more readable than the majority of King's books, chilling finale Disadvantages: Doesn't create tension or scares until the second half of the story, won't convert those who generally dislike King's writing style
