I liked it but not as much as Misery. I want to read all of King's books and I have a feeling this will not be one of my favorite of his works. It was interesting, and very well written, but it felt a little slow in the middle. I was fascinated at the beginning, and then gradually got less impressed. There was definite horror but it wasn't scary, just extremely disturbing. Maybe it didn't hit me as deep since I do not have children, but it felt too supernatural to really connect for me. I like King's raw and realistic scary side more. I'd recommend it if you like horror genre.
