You know, when I was handed a copy of this book from a friend I was thinking, "Heck yeah! This looks fantastic!" Upon reading it, yes, it's good, it's interesting, buy it also left me wanting more. The description says that it is like Stephen King but for young adults... Not so much. That is where I was really disappointed. I am a huge Stephen King fan, I mean huge, I have all of his books and have seen all of the movies, so I am rather familiar with Stephen King and this book isn't quite at his level, even coming at it from a young adults perspective. But I would still say it is worth the read because it is an interesting story that is pretty well written. I'd actually be interested in checking out more books by this author.
