Pet Sematary

A very thrilling and suspenseful book!

Pet Semetary is a very thrilling and suspenseful book. The author, Stephen King tells very good descriptions in all of his books. As soon as you are relaxed, he starts again. The evil is not even what you think it will be, or is it? Louis Creed just moved to maine and now has a perfect job at the University's hostpital, a perfect house, a perfect daughter and son, a perfect wife, and a perfect cat. The road seperating his house and new friend Jud Crandell's house is unmerciful. You can here the huge semi-trucks speeding and raging all day and all night. It has taken so many children's pets' lives. Will Louis Creed listen to what he needs to, or what he wants to??????

Worth your time

very interesting and different. but very good.

Dude....

This is by far the scariest King book i've read. the entire book is totally worth reading just to get to the last 50 or 60 pages. it starts out slow, but so does every Stephen King book, when you get 200 pages it starts to get scarier and scarier until it gets to the startling (and very disturbing) end.

Highly recommended

This book is great. It keeps you interested and at parts I felt like I was actually there in the scene with the characters. Some parts of it are sad, but that only adds to the novel's greatness. Personally, I'm not a fan of fantasies like this, but this read kept me going.

Great Read....Needs to be available as a Nookbook...

I really love Stephen King's work, but I don't understand why a lot of his earlier books like "Carrie" and " The Shining" are available as Nookbooks and "Pet Sematary" amd "Christine" aren't. I think all of these books are really good, but I was disappointed to find out that those two books weren't available as Nookbooks, which is one of the reasons I bought my Nook. Please put them in e-book format soon. I really would like to add them to my growing e-book library.

My first Stephen King Novel

...it holds a special place in my heart. very creepy and the ending has stuck with me for many years now.

BEST BOOK!

This book is by far the most scariest, yet best, book I have ever read. It's full of twists and turns, and you can't put it down. Stephen King has amazed me with this book, and he is my favorite author. I HIGHLY recommend this book to horror fans.

Pet Sematary #1!!!!

This book is just amazing. It is King's best writing yet. This was my third King book I read, and it is my favorite book ever (except The Shining). It is creepy from around page 100 to the end. Yeah, it is a little slow at the beginning, but it is interesting and a quick read. I highly, highly recommend this book!:)

By Far His most over rated Book.

Maybe I was Heavily medicated while I was reading this book, and didn't realize it.

For those who find this book scary, what can I say?

You guys don't know what true Horror really is.

Pet Sematary a Must Read!!

Pet Sematary by Stephen King is a novel about a doctor, Louis Creed, who moves to a small town in Maine with his family. On his first day at the college hospital a student named Pascow is brought in after being hit by a car. He dies but his spirit haunts Creed throughout the book. After a couple of months of living in the house his wife and son leave to go visit their grandparents and while they are gone the cat is run over on the highway. Creed's neighbor tell him about a mysterious pet sematary that brings anything there back to life. The cat returns the next day after Creed buries it.All is fine until a couple of weeks later his son is killed by an 18-wheeler on the highway in front of their house. Creed makes the gruesome decision to bury his son in the sematary and this leads to a gory filled ending to the novel. When I picked this novel up for the first time I never wanted to put it down. I finished it in about a week of just reading it during my free time. It has an interesting story line and plot that keeps you wanting to read more. I chose this book because Stephen King is my favorite author and I love the far out horror that he writes. The only thing i have against this book would be the strong language throughout the book. It would be a book for a mature reader but I would highly recommend it!

Awesome!

This is the scariest Stephen King book I have ever read. At first it is kind of hard to figure out the characters but it clears up quickly. This is a very violent book and is sad at parts, but overall is a very awesome. The only thing is there was loose ends mentioned through out the book that are never tied up. If you are looking for a book that will leave you in suspense every time you put it down you will love this one.

There Back-k-k

Your going to read this thinking about your pets you have or did and want would you do, this is one you will keep you into the book thinking what if?

My Review

After a bit of a lull in his writing with Christine and Cycle of the Werewolf, King is back to top form with Pet Sematary. Much shorter in length than Christine, King seems to have used a more discerning editorial eye on this novel and it really paid off. Pet Sematary really packs a punch especially in its conclusion. Once again, King takes his time building things up and developing his characters and setting, but there are a few tense moments along the way that keep the plot moving up to the big bang at the end.

I really, really enjoyed this one. The suspense is great, there's lots of good ole' gore and it's the usual toss-up as to who might come out of this mess alive, although you pretty much know that nobody will come out unscathed. A couple of nice twists and turns at the end complete the wild ride of the climax and put a perfect end cap on this; one of King's best works

Stephen King RULES!!!!!!!

I love Pet Sematary!! It is such an amazing book just as it is a movie. If you do not like how the movie skips out on some of the main parts of the book, do not watch the movie. If you love books that deal with romance, drama, comedy, and horror, this is the book to buy!!!!!

Pet Sematary

Coming soon.

grim....but good

Pet Sematary is a very grim book and not one of King's more action packed stories either. I really enjoyed it though. That's the thing about King; even when his story is on the slow side, his writing and his characters keep me interested.

When Louis and his family move into an old house right off a trucking highway, terrible things are in their future. Between that highway in front of their house and the old Indian burying ground behind their house, they are caught in the midst of some unearthly mayhem. Whether it's a family pet getting run down in the highway, grave digging, or tales of the dead brought back to 'life', Pet Sematary has it's share of morbid moments. Like I said before, it's a grim tale.

Pet Sematary gets you thinking about death and what you would do with the power to bring back the dead. Louis makes that decision several times in this book with results that are less than perfect. This is a spooky story definitely worth a read....as long as you don't mind a touch of the macabre.

PET SEMATARY

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ ALONG WITH "MISERY"!!!

Terrifying!

Very frightening, and descriptive which only made it scarier. I had to arm myself with a shoe. Subsuquintly knocking the wind out of my room mate. But she understood. The movie however did in fact do this Stephen King book justice. Unfortionatly I did jump everytime my cat hissed or growled. So worth reading.

Hey-ho, let's go!

Pet Sematary's content, while entertaining and thought-provoking, does drag on exceedingly in some sections (i.e. Louis deciding whether to dig up Gage or not). Its ending seems rushed with little detail as compared to the rest of the book. It spares its readers all the gory details and lets the readers' imaginations work but the lack of details is a very obvious change. Not to give away too much but, the ending chapters are somewhat disappointing. Various places throughout the book host great repetition yet the climatic ending could use some to give off a psychological thrill. Previously, hints had been given as to how Jud and Rachel would react to the Gage-thing that comes back, but it gypped the readers of their thoughts and horrific anxiety as the action takes place.

Additionally, having seen the movie version prior to reading the book, Pascow's lack of involvement leads to further disappointment. In the movie, Pascow serves as a ghoulish comic relief but, sadly, as he is desperately needed to break up Louis' monotonous and half-crazed ramblings and indecisiveness, his black humor is nowhere to be found following his graphic death.

The Wendigo's presence adds a very King-esque supernatural feel that does not necessarily add anything believably worthwhile to the plot. (Not that a dead kid coming back to life is believable either, but hang in there.) The creepy sounds and spine-tingling eeriness while walking through the woods, yes. A devilish-looking, mammoth-sized creature tearing down forests, no. The Wendigo part of the book practically comes out of nowhere. It'd be better to have left it merely mentioned because it breaks the readers' building tension and concentration.
