A review by ohnoflora
Pet Sematary by Stephen King
3.0
The first Stephen King book I've read where I thought, half way through, that I might not be able to go on with it. No hope, no cheer, just the grim inevitability of death and loss. In fact, there is hope in this, but it is a twisted hope, a misplaced optimism that things will work out differently this time.
Maybe I should have stopped when the unease first started to grip but, after the slow slog up the hill that was the first half of the book, the second half was a wild, lurching run down the other side and I just had to keep going (much like the main character of this book, who also kept going when he shouldn't).
