Not my kind of reading
Very scary
Page turner!!. Saw the movie first but wanted to see if the book was just as goos. It had great description of characters and does a great job creating suspense. Usually get bored when authors go on and on describing the environment but all the description in this book just helped build the suspense. Good book, great buy!
I had seen the movie but had never read the book but boy was I glad I did. Very good book.
Although I enjoyed re-reading this book…dated.
I read it more than once, at different times in my life. It is haunting, eerily enjoyable. The characters are well presented and it is truly scary. I was pleased that the movie was quite true to the book. It will make you wonder and the author gives the reader an alarming view of something ancient and evil in the heart of the big city. I will read it again, Imsm certai, it never disappoints or gets old.
I enjoy the movie so I thought I would try the book too.
the best book of it’s kind!!!!
