![]() ![]() This morning as I was nearing the finish, I was lying on the couch where the telephone is over my head. Like King, he writes kids great, and also writes them great as adults. Well, I guess if Pyper can be accused of anything, it would be a wonderful portrayal of four young friends in a creepy setting, and a revisit of the town's Bad Thing in their adult years. I had only glazed over reviews, only because I wanted to avoid the chance of spoilers (generally negative reviews tend to be rife with them), but from what I can gather, some people have called this a knock off of Stephen King's IT or The Body. I am shocked at the average rating of this book. ![]() It almost got to the point where I was going to take it off my list altogether. Every time I was deciding what to read next, I would come to this and be cooled by the 3.52 rating. So I got on to Goodreads and added it to my to-read list. I had first heard of this book by reading a glowing review for it in a newspaper, perhaps The Globe and Mail. ![]()
