Good Points

Good first 200 pages and the epilogue was satisfying.

Bad Points

Gets cheesy with how they attack the doctor and isn't too scary.

General Comments

Unless you're a real stephen king fan, i would not suggest the book. that said, it isn't the worst book i've read. As the story progresses, i began to feel as if i was reading the book because i had already read 200 pages and not because i wanted to find out the ending. after going to the hospital and discovering their secret powers, the horror aspect of the book is gone. towards the last 100 or so pages, the story regained some suspense and i thought it went out with a bang. i also feel that bill mcgovern is a not-to-endearing character and lois has her moments where you feel she is annoyingly nice. the ending leaves you wondering what ralph's first wife is going to think about his new one.
