Summary: Pet Semetary
Review: The book "Pet Semetary," by Stephen King is a bone-chilling, suspenseful novel. Stephen King is an infamous author for his scary, out of this world writings. The time period meant for this book is around the late 1980's. The plot starts off as an average family that moves out into the country into a ranch-like home. Their new neighbor, who is very kind, offers to show the family around the town. They run into a place called "Pet Semetary," which is very creepy. This pet cemetary is where the format of the book takes place. The cemetary brings the family as well as the neighbor misery, terror, and death into their lives. This book will leave you on the edge of your seat. It will make you never want to put the book down and read it until it is over. You should only read it though if you like scary books, because sometimes the book is so scary that you have to put it down a relax for just a minute. I thought it was an awesome book and thought it was extremely scary. Sometimes it was so scary I would have nightmares about it. Also, if you do not like very long books you should not read it because it's tremendously long. The language that he uses in this book is not very difficult so it is easy to follow along, in addition to the chapters don't jump from one thing to another so it doesn't confuse you. Overall, I think this book is a must read! If you have the chance go to the bookstore and buy it, you won't be sorry.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very disturbing
Review: The book was very well writen, but the subject is way too morbid for my taste. I really couldn't sit down and read it for too long a period of time without getting depressed. I have read all but three of his books, and this one I could have done without. Mr. King is a brilliant writer, and I have enjoyed everything he has written. This is a very solid story. It is by far his darkest novel to date, in my opinion. I gave it a high rating because it is a good book, but it is the one King novel that didn't make me feel good at anytime.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Terrifying- Pet Semetary
Review: This book will haunt you in your dreams!!! I had to remind myself it was just a book and nothing this terrifying would actually happen! This is without doubt Stephen King's most gruesome and horrifying book he has ever written! It is my favourite book by him. IF THIS BOOK WON'T SCARE YOU THEN NO BOOK EVER WILL!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best
Review: This was my first Steven King book, and i loved it! The semetary seemed so creepy. this book is very suspenseful and was hard to put down. the characters are so realistic and king is so discriptive. this book is ten times as good as the movie! A true Steven King best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: EXCELLENT
Review: This was the first book I have ever read from Stephen King. This was so scary, yet I couldn't put it down. He is very creative and very good with detail. He writes it as if you're in his dream too. King knows how to approach a reader. He has an extordinary mind and I feel he gets into the story as well. Therefore, I give this book 5 stars and plan on reading more of his novels.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very scary and creative!
Review: This was the first book I read of Stephen King and I found it as one of the most scariest books I ever read in my entire life. It didn't drag like some of his books, I thought it was very fast paced and full of emotion. I also felt sorrow for Louis Creed. I felt his pain when Gage died, and his horror when he found his dead wife. When I reached part 3: Oz the Gweat and Tewwible I was so full of fear I wanted to put the book done, but couldn't. It was that good and will remain King's all time best. Prime King!!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Scary!
Review: This was the first Stephen King novel I have read, and after reading this I plan to read more. Pet Semetary was a very well written story, and the fact that it was truly terrifying added to it. This book is a real edge of your seat type of book. It keeps you reading all the time. It was hard to put it down. By the time you are finished reading you really get to know the characters. It was a well thought out and very detailed novel. I'd reccomend this book to anyone who enjoys a good scare. Pet Semetary by Stephen King is worth the time and effort to read!

Rating: 1 stars
