This has got to be the best horror (or any other for that matter), I have ever read. It's amazing, I practically finished it in less than a week. Anything I read from now on has got to be compared with this book from now on. The book takes you through events that can happen to anyone at anytime. You feel for the characters, the loss of faith, the evil and through it all. It's an amazing book. I loved it tremendously. The book was interpreted into an equally frightening film. It set the point for the second one, and the third took off from where the book ended. This is the right book to read in one go. Never take a breath and always, always, keep the lights on, you just don't know what might be coming out from under the bed and if your bed shakes, always call an Exorcist...
