Pretty good book, took awhile to get more suspenseful but when it did it was great. Not much hope as the story continues as people just keep dying off. Pretty chilling and creepy at times.

I would give this book 5 stars but with Steph king most famous for is write people in great detail and giving parts of the story that don't real help to the plot. Then killing them off in a paragraph. You give so much detail other places, give their deaths the same detail.

Stephen King  is a wonderful story teller - he can be very drawn out and descriptive which can be annoying for some but it honestly helps the imagery formed in your head. Reading his books is like watching a movie - I can clearly immerse myself in his world (for better or worse). Ben Mears was a bit of a flat character in comparison to the others around him but I can over look that. Looking gears to reading more of Mr. King’s works!
