When Ifirst started reading this horror book I assumed it would be a scooby-doo book where the villian is the person you "least expect". But as I read more to the book I realized I underestimated Stephen King by a lot. And I found myself eager to turn to page un-able to put the book down. And I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good mystery-horror story.

The subject I choose to write about is how dumb some of these characters are. For one, they accually agree to do the graveyard shift (its a night shift from 12-4 am). It is the most scariest thing that any of the carnival employees have been though. And Devin still does it.

The main character name is Devin Jones, but in the book people call him Josie fo tease him. Josie just broke up with his girl friend who they didnt brake up, they judt stopped talking to eachother. And Devin is a smart man and is polite. He doesnt smoke nor does he drink often, and when he does drink he just get tired. He is also very gulable and could beleive almost anything.

I find the book very intriguing and though the start of th book was dull, it did pick up some speed later. Though thr things i cant relate to is how i will assume the hero will chase after the evil, whichi, hoping wont happen. I could assume thay becaue this is classic book.
