Summary: One of my favorite King books
Review: Pet Semetary is a total trip of a book. The plot is cool and spooky, the characters are pretty good, and there are some great late night walks through the woods with evil not far behind. I dig the whole supernatural revival from death idea- I suppose nearly everyone would like to live indefinitely but at what cost? King explores this thorny issue and I suppose concludes that there may be an unholy price to pay for immortality. At least in Pet Semetary. The movie wasn't too bad either; at least it was better than most movies of King's books. Avery Z. Conner, author of "Fevers of the Mind".

Summary: A new kind of Terror is in these pages
Review: This book is a masterpiece. Plain and simple. Not only is this book a masterpiece, but in my eyes, King's most terrifying novel. Stephen King has a way of writing every kind of novel possible, from love, to suspense to pure terror. I believe that this book has it all. For all that have seen the movie and have not read this masterpiece, you are missing out on an excellent story. Pet Sematary is scary enough just by reading the misspelled title. We get plunged into a world that can never end if only buried in a sacred spot, but is this a neverending world that we want to live in? This is a question that King makes you ask yourself all through this novel. King makes us feel for these characters and wonder what you would do if you were in a similar situation. The character development is perfect as it is in all of King's books. A major plus about this book is that King keeps you thinking and wondering through every page. When you think something is going to happen it doesnt, but when you least expect something, King will have you shaking. I could not put down this novel, even though I was scared to death from it. It pulls you in and doesnt let go. This is one of Kings best novels ever. Read this and I promise love from it, and even more terror.

Summary: VERY good book
Review: This is my first Stephen King book,and i loved it. It is about a family that moved into a new house in Ludlow (it is near Derry for you people that liked IT). They meet their neighbors and become good friends,but then when their cat gets hit by a truck and Jud,one of the neighbors,tells them about the Micmac Burying Grounds across the deadfall in the well known part of the Pet Sematary and they bury him there to get him back to life. One of the things that happens is the main charactor,Louis Creed,finds the cat,Church,on Christmas ripping out the eye of a well murdered crow. Church Kills animals while he is an animal. Hmmm... wonder what will heppen then they bury their baby boy,Gage,in the Micmac Burying Grounds.........

Summary: One of the best horror novels ever written.
Review: I've read Pet Sematary three times, and, being an avid Stephen King fan I am apt to say this is definitely his scariest book (followed close by The Shining). By making us care with very real characters, King makes us sad and horrified by the sense of unavoidable destruction of an happy, all-american family. We can't help but read while the characters make very unwise, yet very understandable choices.
Stephen King delivers in Pet Sematary a stunning performance, making this a very fast-paced story with no boring parts. Like in The Shining there is no conventional bad guy, but an evil place with evil purposes that corrupts people, like the poor Gage Creed, making the horror much more psichological than physical. So this is most definitely a must buy to all people looking for a great horror novel- you won't be disappointed!

Summary: Stephen's best horror novel
Review: Out of all of the novels of Stephen's, this has 2 B his absolute best novel I have ever read. Although I have seen the movie first and I knew what was going 2 happen, I still found it very hard 2 put down. It only took me five days 2 read. I think that the scariest part of this one is Zelda, Rachel's sister. She gave me nightmares not 2 B believed. I know that many of U out there have read many of Stephen's novels but if U haven't yet read this one, read it. I know U will N joy it.

Summary: Lazarus, come forth!
Review: Dr Louis Creed is uneasy as he drives his family, wife Rachel, children Eileen and Gage, and cat to their new home, a rambling white-frame house on the outskirts of Ludlow, New England. The children are tearful, Rachel is short-tempered. But the place is just perfect and the family meets Jud Crandall, an old and wily neighbour. He takes them exploring and shows them the Pet Sematary, where local children have buried their pets for generations. Only Eileen is slightly disgruntled. After all, her beloved cat is going to live for ever...This horror story is so well-written that it simply must be classified as a 'Classic'. It has bone-chilling suspense, very convincing characters with 'real' emotions and a plot-line that cannot disappoint. Although the decisions Louis Creed takes are quite unconventional, Stephen King still succeeds in letting them seem quite the natural to do. Even while reading this book I was constantly wondering: "What should I do if confronted with such a situation?", and I guess that's a really good sign. But there is much more... This book has a depth that reaches far beyond the average horror story. Like the author himself has confessed it showed him levels of blackness that he had "no desire to re-visit". And I could not agree more. The main theme is clearly "death", or to use the words of Zelda, the sister of Rachel: "Oz the Gweat and Tewwible". But Stephen approaches this theme in such a personal way that the reader is bound the get a bit uncomfortable. It sneakily whispers into your ears that death might actually not be as far in the future as you like to believe. This makes this book ever creepier. So, be prepared to be thrilled in more than one way.

Summary: Full of suspense!
Review: I saw this movie about 10 years ago and I wish I read the book first. The book was great though, except that I knew, for the most part what was going to happen.
This book is a quick read.. you'll be hooked in no time. At first you'll probably pause and think.. did he just do that? It's a great book full of suspense and drama. This is only my second Stephen King book but I'm looking forward to reading more.

Summary: Pet Sematary
Review: In this BBC dramatization of King's (Wizard and Glass, Audio Reviews, LJ 2/15/98) 1983 best seller, Dr. Louis Creed moves his ideal family from congested, urban Chicago to the rural simplicity of Ludlow, ME. His property sits near a long-established pet burial ground and a mysterious Indian burial ground from which the dead can be raised. The program effectively draws us into the characters' world: marriage and family, then shock, grief and madness as we explore the nature and mystery of death. Presenting a multivoiced dramatization rather than a reading of the novel, the actors work together, with added music and sound effects, to create King's macabre world. Recommended.'

Summary: A good book but very confusing
Review: I read the book pet sematary by stephan king. I didnt get the concept of the book because it switched to differant places and it was hard to understand where it was at in the story. It would change without even saying it changed. This book is about a doctor who moves to a new town out in the country and he lives acrossed the street from a guy named Jud Crandal and his wife. They become friends and the doctor is at Jud's house every night having a beer. One day Jud takes the doctor on a hike to a place that will change his life forever. BAH ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ
