Too bad! I loved it -- read the entire book in about 2 days -- but I can see that it might be a marmite book.

Not as much as The Shining, though I'm willing to try it again some other time.

[Charbel]

I agree. The Shining is on a completely different level. But I still thought it was great to see what happened to Danny.
