I read it the first time when I was 8 and I had nightmares for months. I read it again when I was in college and it was a completely different but still fulfilling experience. I've been wanting to read it again - but it's so long and there's so much to read! But I'm glad you think it still holds up!Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02748178730844113883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-9856753067979901182012-02-15T17:22:31.150+00:002012-02-15T17:22:31.150+00:00Also, I'm anxious to know what you think about...Also, I'm anxious to know what you think about The Falls.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-76026069620375027422012-02-15T17:22:01.453+00:002012-02-15T17:22:01.453+00:00Ok, so I'm reading your review and the monitor...Ok, so I'm reading your review and the monitor next to me turns on.

I can read scary books because they're...Well... I can read scary books because they're just my brain images so I can ignore them, but I can't *watch* scary things because there are actual images that will haunt me at like 2am and prevent me from sleeping! But this book is honestly fantastic! And it actually gets less scary as it goes on, which is slightly odd (or maybe I just feel like that now because I know what happens so well). Oh yeah, and my rule is, as long as everything turns out ok, then I'm good with it- if there are still monstery things roaming at the end, then I'm much more uneasy with it! <br /><br />So, to sum up: scary tv=too scary (really, sometimes Doctor Who is too scary for me, and that's for kids so... yeah) but scary books=fine/awesome! Oh yeah, and pleeeeease read The Dark Tower series, because it's all fantasy rather than horror and is the awesomest awesome of all awesomes. Plus it'll introduce you to Stephen King, who is my love :).Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17371636785566309578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275165298547340568.post-40156896654733525622012-02-15T14:20:53.274+00:002012-02-15T14:20:53.274+00:00I do not understand when people purposely expose t...I do not understand when people purposely expose themselves to scary things! I get scared so easily that actually scary things TERRIFY me and make me unhappy. But I know these people exist and have a decent time of it, because my best friend's one of them. But I shall do not understand you all. ;) Which is why I haven't read any Stephen King. His X-Files episode was terrifying! With this doll that makes people kill themselves.<br /><br />That being said, I am glad you enjoy him so much.Reading Rambohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12614467198216577755noreply@blogger.com
