Finished it, but was less creepy than I was expecting.

This was really good. Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole way.

This book is messed up - but I will admit that, at times, it scared the bejesus out of me. Sitting at my desk at work, in the middle of the afternoon, eating lunch...I had to put the book down and walk away.

Not my favourite Joe Hill book. I probably took too long to read it though (almost 2 months!!) and I'm sure that didn't help the pacing and my emotional investment in the characters (ie there wasn't one).

okay so I started this book as a paperback at the airport years ago. a friend of mine asked me a few days ago what to read and I recommended this to her. I decided to give it a shot. finished it in 3 days. cant say its My favorite book but it was different I enjoyed it

This is pretty boring to be marketed as a “horror” book.

I really enjoyed this book. I thought it had good pacing, likeable characters and a wonderful eerie feeling.
The plot felt a little obvious, but I enjoyed it all the same.
A great first novel and I look forward to reading more of Hills works.

A clever premise and interesting opening, but the tone of the writing feels very removed, which dilutes any sense of suspense or dread.

almost DNFed this in the middle because i got bored, but things picked back up again. just a couple weeks later, i'd pretty much put this completely out of my mind. it was fine, but definitely one of my least favorite of Hill's.
