I made the dire mistake of watching the movie before reading the book, and was gut punched by the differences. I thought I had to plot and ending already all mapped out in my head, but when it came time to it, I was utterly devastated. Almost to the extent I didn't know why to contue on. Yes, the book was good. It made me want to keep reading up until the gut punch, but I can't imagine ever having the heart to reread this and go through that all over again. Some would say this is a big winner for a book.

The first scenes were tense and gripping. Sort of lost its pace near the middle, but it was still interesting. Lots of graphic violence. Reflective ending.

A good horror novel - a bit more brutal and gruesome than expected, but I moved through it quickly, pushed on my growing tension and uncertainty.
