5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!! A SUPER BOOK!!, September 20, 1999

This review is from: Stephen King 1: Pet Semetary, Carrie, Nightshift (Paperback)

Although I am only 12, I have read this great book. To me, Stephen King is a genius. (I wish I could have written this book!) I really felt the families pain when Gage died, and I was horrified when Louis decided to dig Gage up and bury him in The MicMac buring grounds. This book was so damn good, I couldn't put it down. I rate this book 10 stars instead of five!~

This review is from: Stephen King 1: Pet Semetary, Carrie, Nightshift (Paperback)

The book "Pet Semetary," by Stephen King is a bone-chilling, suspenseful novel. Stephen King is an infamous author for his scary, out of this world writings. The time period meant for this book is around the late 1980's. The plot starts off as an average family that moves out into the country into a ranch-like home. Their new neighbor, who is very kind, offers to show the family around the town. They run into a place called "Pet Semetary," which is very creepy. This pet cemetary is where the format of the book takes place. The cemetary brings the family as well as the neighbor misery, terror, and death into their lives. This book will leave you on the edge of your seat. It will make you never want to put the book down and read it until it is over. You should only read it though if you like scary books, because sometimes the book is so scary that you have to put it down a relax for just a minute. I thought it was an awesome book and thought it was extremely scary. Sometimes it was so scary I would have nightmares about it. Also, if you do not like very long books you should not read it because it's tremendously long. The language that he uses in this book is not very difficult so it is easy to follow along, in addition to the chapters don't jump from one thing to another so it doesn't confuse you. Overall, I think this book is a must read! If you have the chance go to the bookstore and buy it, you won't be sorry.

This review is from: Stephen King 1: Pet Semetary, Carrie, Nightshift (Paperback)

For the first time in my SK career I have been really scared of what he has written! I was just more and more scared up until the end, but then the epilogue! It really freaked me out! When Gage died I'm sitting there reading and saying "WAIT! Gage didn't die! He was just imagining it! He grows up to win a gold medal! wait wait,no he did die......" I think one of the best parts of this book were the quotes from the Bible before each part, and all the references to Lazerus, and Job. Anyway, Stephen King has done it again!
