I finished this book today and While I loved the character development and the story build up The story itself is disturbing and truly disgusting. And to think it is based on true events, God I really do not want to know what parts are real. I finished the book and watched the movie. The detail that was left out of the movie allowed me to be able to actually watch the movie.

I think the reason this story sits so badly with me is because it is about children. I just can not wrap my mind around the events in this book.

I do not like the story line. This is not the type of horror I want to read about. I am shaken by this story in all the wrong ways. It will be a while before I ever think about picking up another book from Jack Ketchum....
