This is the first Stephen King novel that I've read and I found a little hard to adapt to his writing style but none the less I loved this book.

It sent shivers down my spine - so much so that I couldn't find the courage to read it at night. I really felt the pain and fear that these characters were going through. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially anyone who has seen the movie because the movie has nothing on this novel.
