I've finished reading this like book a week ago and I have completely forgotten to update my progress here at Goodreads. But nevertheless, I found the time to give a review about this book so here it goes.

This book literally shows the reader a lot of things about “death”; how death is the ultimate and that when a person dies, no matter how much you love them, there's no coming back. Except for the case of Louise Creed, his wife Rachel, their children Ellie and toddler Gage, and their pet cat Church. They just moved to a new place in the town of Ludlow - it was just a great place and everything's delightful. But the problems were; 1. The road right in front of their house with very very fast trucks passing by from time to time. 2. The Pet “Sematary” (which is a misspelled word for cemetery” at the end of a small path into the woods at the end of Creeds' property. One night Church was hit and killed by one of those trucks while Louise's wife and kids are out of town, and Lou's neighbor, Jud, takes him beyond the Pet “Sematary” to an old Indian burial ground to bury the cat. The next day, the cat comes back to the house, seemingly alive, but violent, aggressive, clumsy, and “non-Church like”. Then, later, Lou Creed's little boy, Gage is hit and killed by a truck. Louis will go through the ultimate test: bury Gage and bring him back. As the story progresses, just to prevent any major spoilers, Louise later realized that being dead is better. (BECAUSE LITERALLY ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE).
