Wow! This is the second book I have ever read by Stephen King and I am truly impressed! I read "Carrie," a few months ago and was not as impressed as I thought I would be, but Pet Sematary really lived up to the hype. I was completely engaged in this book from the beginning and I can definitely see why everyone loved it. I really have never read a book that is considered horror, but I am glad this one was my first. Although I did read this at night, I was never too scared to go to bed... until the very end. The first 200 pages were very wordy, but I enjoyed the setting that King created to really immerse you in the story. The only reason this book is not a five star for me is because I felt the end was extremely rushed and difficult to follow in. That being said, in an introduction to the book, Stephen King explained how he considers this book to be one of his most frightening because of its relevance to his personal life and a road outside of his home in Maine. Definitely read this book if you have not because it is worth it.
