I think this book was not very good compared to all of King's other books he has written because it was supposed to be a horror/thriller, and it wasnt much of a thriller or a horror and it had a horrible ending.Out of a rating on a one to five, I would probably give this book a 3 because like I said it has a horrible ending and it was suppose to be a horror/thriller, and it was neither of those.
