The book begins great with rich detailed characters and since I’ve already watched the movie several times, it was even scarier because I knew where the scarier parts were and they were so detailed, gave me the creeps, then the book seemed to stretch out and became a little hum drum, which may have been better had I not watched the movie first. Then the last part of the book was really good again, kept my interest and ended really well. I would’ve given it five stars if the book had been shorter in the middle. Definitely worth a read and Stephen King mind is oh so disturbed and I kinda like it 🤣 ( ) Dr. Louis Creed has landed a new job, which takes his family from Chicago to the rural town of Ludlow, Maine. Their new house is located in a quiet section of the town and seems to be the perfect place for the Creed family to start over. The only thing they don’t love are the eighteen-wheeler trucks that fly down the road outside their new home. The Creed’s know these trucks are dangerous, but the makeshift burial ground for lost pets located in the woods behind their home truly shows how many lives those trucks have taken. There’s something strange about that burial ground and it’s not just the fact that it’s filled with all of the neighborhoods lost pets or that children will go their alone or with friends to bury their lost furry companions. There is a sense of unease Louis can’t quite shake and once he learns the truth, his life will be changed forever. There is more than just death there. Something powerful lies beneath the surface...reminding him that "Sometimes dead is better"................. KING calls Pet Sematary his scariest book, and I can understand why. It is a bit of twist on Frankenstein and the notion of resurrection. It is super creepy and super "shocking" where he takes the reader - to the depths of delusional grief. It's also a book about rationality versus irrationality, faith versus the modern world. Pet Sematary is a harrowing tale about death, the afterlife, loss, and grief. It's sad, sick, dark, and disgusting with more than one horribly "shocking" event that will blow your mind, but it's harrowing because King's characters are so easy to sympathize with. You want Louis to remain a rational man in the midst of pain but the spiral is too much for him and the temptation too pressing. I think this is King's scariest novel because it truly explores the depths of humanity and perhaps our greatest fear: death. I read this because not only has the movie been one of my favorite movies based on a Stephen King novel since I was a child, but also because it was my mom’s favorite book in high school (so much so, she read her copy over and over until it fell apart. Yes, she’s forever a huge Stephen King fan, I am fond of him as well). I’m not entirely certain if I’m rather biased considering I loved the movie as a child and it’s a reminiscent thing or not but I enjoyed it mostly. The era it’s in, the way King writes, etc. I enjoy the storyline and concept, it’s very creepy and bone chilling. I enjoy the fact Jud’s wife is in the book. She’s such a lovely character from what we get of her. King does over describe at times but in this book it’s not so bad. Where do I start with this book? I’m hiding this just in case this could be construed as spoiler-y. I liked it, it wasn’t my favorite book, or even my favorite King, but it was good! I think the thing that made this a 3.5 (rounded up) was that parts of it were sooooooooo slow. I’ve seen both the movies, and I kind of expected more to be happening, but all the scary stuff was right at the end. I was just waiting for it to happen. When it did, I was on the edge of my seat, but it just took too long to get there. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:Now a major motion picture! Stephen King's #1 New York Times bestseller is a "wild, powerful, disturbing" (The Washington Post Book World) classic about evil that exists far beyond the graveâ??among King's most iconic and frightening novels. When Dr. Louis Creed takes a new job and moves his family to the idyllic rural town of Ludlow, Maine, this new beginning seems too good to be true. Despite Ludlow's tranquility, an undercurrent of danger exists here. Those trucks on the road outside the Creed's beautiful old home travel by just a little too quickly, for one thing...as is evidenced by the makeshift graveyard in the nearby woods where generations of children have buried their beloved pets. Then there are the warnings to Louis both real and from the depths of his nightmares that he should not venture beyond the borders of this little graveyard where another burial ground lures with seductive promises and ungodly temptations. A blood-chilling truth is hidden thereâ??one more terrifying than death itself, and hideously more powerful. As Louis is about to discover for himself sometimes, dead is better Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
