My interests are watching my fave things on TV and DVD. These mainly are anything with Adam Sandler in, horror movies and too many other comedies to mention. I also love going to the cinema and watching football.

I found this a good read but it doesn't really get going until the second half although it does keep you gripped. My only gripe was that I wanted to know what happens after the story ends. Although nothing is left unfinished it did feel like something needed to be said with regards to how the charcters carried on. I especially wanted to know how certain things were explained away, like people returning from the dead. I also felt that some things could have been brought to the forefront more, like the daughter having possible psychic powers. It more then hinted at it, as it mentions her dreams and pictures she drew but it doesn't really go into enough detail. Some of the storyline and characters are of your staple horror genre, death, elderly people, country bumpkins, possible psychic powers, and love. Although for me this did not detract from the storyline at all. If you enjoy a good horror read, then pick this book up. I haven't gone in to details regarding the storyline as I don't want to spoil it. Plus it's a film so the storyline will already be known.

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
