Great book by a great Author. Hill, following in his fathers footsteps, is very descriptive and really pulls the reader in. He creates characters,at the start of the book that the reader has a hard time liking at all and makes you really care and become vested in them by the end. I must admit when I read the cover blurb I did not really know what to think, but as I started reading I could not put it down! I ran out and got Heart Shaped Box and 20th century ghosts as well! I can't wait until he writes another!
