Great story... Can't stop reading/watching this creepy a** tale...
What a great book/movie (watched the movie at least 15 times)... Still in the middle of the book, but wow. The book truly shows insight into the story. The movie shows the visuals we all had in our minds. The book shows us what we truly couldn't fathom in the minds on the the protagonists.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
