Summary: Little pet relevance
Review: In this case dead is better. King did a magnifacant job writing this horror and it might as well be his scariest.
I originally wasn't going to read "Pet Sematary" until my sister recommended it to me. She saw it at her library, began to read it, thinking it was about poor cute little pets. She was wrong. Its about as far away from that than anything.
This book is an explanation of how zombies could be real and the best part about it is King made all of it seem realistic. King got me to believe the unbelieveable, that the dead could become alive again and the dead know things, things that no one could know and sometimes things that may get under your skin to weaken you, to hypnotize you, ...

Summary: Not scary at all!
Review: Stephen King have tried to write a scary book, but he hasn't succeeded at all. Almost nothing happens throughout the book, the characters are impossible to imagine and the part that's supposed to be scary is the most boring part of all. Don't buy this book if you're after a scary one, this is only for the ones who dosn't dare to read a normal book.

Summary: A great book!!
Review: Pet Sematary is one of the scariest books Steven King has written. A small family, the Creeds, move to Ludlow, Maine hoping for a bright future. Louis, a doctor at the University, is shocked by one of his patients, Victor Pascow, coming back to life after being pronounced dead, and warning Louis to stay away from the Pet Sematay. Louis saw no involvement with the place until his daughter's cat dies, and his neighbor, Jud Crandall, shows him the way to Pet Sematary. When Church, the cat, is waiting in the kitchen the next morning, Louis realizes the power of the cemetary. He uses the cemetary again to end the mourning of their dead three-year old son, Gage, but something goes wrong, and Gage comes back, different... blood thirsty.

Summary: WHAT YOU BUY YOU OWN: A Book Review of SK's Pet Sematary
Review: Since its original publishing in 1983, Stephen King's Pet Semetary has become a pop culture cult classic. For the eight people on planet earth who have not read Pet Semetary: It's the horrific story of Louis Creed and his family. The Creed family, who includes Louis, his wife Rachel, his children Ellie and Gage, and the family cat, 'Winston Churchill', moves to Maine (the setting of most all of King's works) because of Louis' job as a doctor. Once in Maine, the Creed's elderly neighbor Jud Crandell (the character who is responsible for the famous line: 'Sometimes dead is better') shows Louis an ancient Indian burial ground with the power of reviving the dead. When the family cat dies, Louis uses the burial ground to spare telling his daughter of the cat's death. However, 'Church' comes back quite different. Months later when Louis' son, Gage, dies he toys with the idea of returning to the burial ground. Louis has up to the book's other well-known tagline: 'What you buy, you own.' I strongly recommend this book. Even those who aren't horror fans will enjoy Stephen King's vivid language and ability to twist humor and horror into what has become a pop culture cult classic.

Summary: way too much for the issue of death
Review: This is one heck of a Stephen King book...This is my first Stephen King novel and I absolutely love it. Dr. Louis Creed with his wife Rachel, daughter Ellie, son Gage & their cat Church, moved from Chicago to Ludlow...Everything seemed to be perfect, from their friendly neighbors, (old guy Jud Crandall and his wife Norma) to Louis' job...Until one day, the family discovers the Pet Sematary, wherein Jud told them that people buried their pets in that place...Ellie, who was barely 6, learned and denied the tragic issue of death...She realized that her most valuable posession, her cat Church, would also die...This issue came to its toll between Louis and Rachel...But it didn't stop there...Later on, Louis would terribly learn about the true tale of Pet Sematary- that if you bury the dead, it could come back to life. This book is something you won't put it down...You will be eager to know what is the real score behind the Pet Sematary and how will it (horrifyingly) affect the Creed family..This book wasn't 100% scary at all- except for the first parts and the final chapters of the book, which were pretty creepy...And yes, from what I have read in "Pet Sematary", I'm sure I'm gonna start a Stephen King collection.

Summary: Sometimes dead is better.
Review: This has got to be one of my favorites, in any genre.
The book starts off by lulling the reader into a sense of realism and safety, it's drips with familiarities and comfortable coversations, all the time hinting at some yet to be encountered evil, some surreal and dark horror hiding under the bed, waiting for you to lift up the covers and squeal as it grabs your face. The Creeds seem like a normal family, they have their spats and the children have their childlike humor and scattered bratty fits, the neighbors are a fine old couple Norma and Jud Crandall.
Louis Creed and Jud form a bit of a friendship and thats when the story begins to take a subtle yet haunting twist as King slowly brings the evil into veiw and then stuffs it down your throat.
To say much more would be giving away too much, but this story is masterfully spun and almost leaves you wondering if it has a ring of truth until you put the book down and convince yourself that you know better.
An emotional rollercoaster in places as well, humor, drama, anger are just a few of the bonuses that this book has to offer. Creepy to say the least, but a bone chilling, skin crawling, rollercoaster ride is so much more fitting.

Summary: Tragic
Review: God creates Man.
Man kills God.
Man thinks he is God.
God kills Man. If you know there is a mysterious burial ground near your home that supposedly can bring life back to the dead, would you bury your loved ones there in order for them to be reborn? Would you? Would you play God? Just to have your dead son or your dead spouse back more or less living and kicking? Even though there may be something different about them? It worked with the family pet so it must work with humans as well. Won't it?

Summary: BBC Audio Production/Abridged
Review: There was a lot of work that went into this audio production, with a fairly large cast of voices. I listen to quite a few books on tape while driving, all unabridged and undramatized, so this was "something completely different" as they'd say on Monty Python. I enjoyed it, but at same time all the screaming and cacophony that occured in parts jangled my nerves. It's one thing for a horror flick, but this was a bit annoying. The music and sonic interludes, such as trucks running down the highway, further decreased the overall dialog time and created a deeply abridged version, forcing some fairly important parts to be left out. The original music and some of the spooky ghost sounds were good, though, and added a lot to the mood. Overall, it was enjoyable as a change of pace.
