This is less horror and more a fantasy journey story. 

The story could have been edited down. There’s a lot that happens for the shock value or to make comments about other characters.

I saw the movie first because I didn't know it was a book at the time. The book was, obviously, a lot more fleshed out, and I always love novels that switch perspectives from one character to another. It was very haunting and good.
