    I gave it a 3.

    I'm actually re-reading it now because I don't remember much about it. Finding it difficult to get through.

    Shannon, to me this is Geralds Game on steroids as far as the mind game aspect. If you liked that then you should be in for one good ride here.

    Good to hear, thank you. I remember watching the movie a while ago but don't really remember too much about it.

    Like Needful Things, this is another one where I though the idea and the setup were clever but the way it played out just didn't do it for me. Another 3, but I'm game for a re-read.

    I feel the same way, except for the part about the idea and the setup being clever.
