I did not enjoy this book as much as your other classic horror stories I still loved the book, but I think you should have made a map and added something a little creepy in the woods to give the readers the scare and worry that you have been looking for in every other book you have made... still the greatest author that ever lived.

definitely comparable to "The Shining".

I was positive she would perish in the woods leaving her body to rot and her bones to bleach in the sun. Trish was not only tall for her age, she also possessed a maturity that was far beyond her years. Some parts were slow and painful as I wanted her Misery and suffering to end. I thought you were cruel at times Mr. King to keep her alive for so long. I really loved the closing chapters of the story. This is a must read and could easily become a movie. I also recon you should have included a map, leaving readers wondering where Trish was exactly. Thank-you & yours Truly, Constant Reader.

I read this story a few years ago, and liked several aspects of it, the first being it was short on profanity (HINT, HINT). Secondly, it was creepy, but not skin-crawlingly creepy. Thirdly, it was just long enough so as not to distract from the main idea. I do wonder if it is available now in mass-market paperback?
