    I loved it as well. One of the most frightening of his novels for sure.

    Frightening. Profound. Eloquent. It's just classic.

    Also a 5. I think it's one of his better books.

    Wow. Guess I'd better pick this one up. I'm the one "Never Read" vote so far.

    Good book. It's sad that many people think it a simple horror book and they don't notice the message.

    Roland would have understood.

    I gave it a 4. It definitely kept me up after reading it, and Louis Creed was SUCH an IDIOT. But it wasn't the best for me. A lot of the stuff he put out around this time period were good stories, but not his best works.

    Correction, you're one of two.

    I have the book and plan to read it sometime (and have seen the movie), but I haven't read it yet.

    Gave this a 4. Good story that works as well today on a re-read as it ever did.

    Yes! Sorry.

    I really liked Jud, I thought he was an awesome character, but I don't like the story. I've read it twice, the second read was because I'd forgotten most of what happened. I just didn't like the overall feel of it.

    I gave this book a 3. Includes nothing special to me. But it's a good one.

    I would givie it a 10!
    I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. - Edgar Allan Poe

    Bunch together a group of people deliberately chosen for strong religious feelings, and you have a practical guarantee of dark morbidities expressed in crime, perversion, and insanity. - H.P. Lovecraft
