One of the best works of king of horror. First 100 pages are gonna be a bit slow but still its worth your money and a good book

I've been meaning to read this one for a long time. The movies are good but could never match up to the realistic, slow-building horror of the biblical description. Pet Sematary is basically, what I think, notwithstanding a hair-raising horror novel, a satirical book on the inability of the people to accept death for what it is. We generally see people beating themselves a lot over the death of their dear ones. Of course, they should, if they don't want to bottle up their grief and rot for the most of their lives. But, accepting the will of the universe is what forms the backbone of this book, although the story is quite the contrary to it. King essentially played with the harrowing thought of the possibility of resurrection. I guess most of us would have wanted, for at least one hopeful moment, for our deceased dear ones to return from death. Although the actual happening of it would scare us to death. And what if there should be a ground with some very disturbing history which would actually do that for you? What if it can make a stopped heart beat again? And what if the person comes back, but with an extremely changed personality?The story itself is fiction. Pet Sematary and the Ludlow House were for real. This is my third King read, the first two being IT and The Stand.And one more thing, the plot of the movie had been changed a lot to cut short the unnecessary stuff( King's books were mostly of descriptive stuff and could only be better experienced by actually reading them). So, if you have watched the film and don't want to read this, that's a mistake. I recommend you to get the book and read. This wouldn't disappoint you. No way.HAPPY READING!

Amazing book.easy to read and story is super no damage

Received book in good conditionSince there was a hype for all Stephen king novels thought to buy one, so ordered it, I found out that iam definitely not a Stephen king girl for sure......everything about this novel is good but it's bit complicated for my little brain to perceive all information written by king. So not able to rate it.Probably will try to read out his other novels and know whether I can b one 🤔🤔

Self admittedly Kings scariest book. I enjoyed every word of it being one of his Constant Readers. Just devoured this book. The Shining is still my favorite though this one gives it stiff competition. It's more emotional and the evil on it is dark and sly and takes advantage of grief in the human soul and also causes the grief. Evil that wants to be part of the living and kill.All king fans should definitely own this one.Enjoy reading it folks!

My first King book and I chose Pet Semetary. Except for the nightmares, I don't regret anything.Tldr; no jumpscares, subtle, eerie and does full justice to it's accolades. There is a reason most people (including King himself) are scared of it.The book hits different; it's well-paced and characters are easy to relate with, the ending was stretched out a bit but was satisfying. It's good for anyone who likes horror but more of the subtle psychological horror. If you're looking for visceral stuff with gore, blood or macabre descriptions, skip it.I would say it's a must-read for horror fans but then again, those that want graphic stuff might be disappointed as this is more appealing to the intellect rather than the senses.

It's addictive as well as horrible to read. The evolution of Louise Creed is what dragged me in. He did what he pledged he wouldn't do. Things go serious as you move ahead with the story. A good read

This book is a marvel of the horror genre. It somehow manages to evade the stereotype of any zombie thriller, slasher or cheap shock tropes. Instead, the writing creates a slow build of dread, that then hits you suddenly.The first time i read this story, i had to put it down several times due to the pure terror i felt, following through the eyes and actions of the protagonist. As a teen it shook me to my core.Every couple of years i pick it up once again and each time, although the frights have mellowed, i still struggle to put it down and always finish it within a couple of days. The fear stays with you, the thrill of the inevitable. You know whats coming, but that doesnt help prepare you when you finally read the words.Already looking forward to my next read through in another couple of years time.

Heel spannend en heel goed! Ik vond dit een van de meest meeslepende boeken van Stephen King die ik tot zover heb gelezen.

El libro está bien, entretenido, bien escrito, fiel a su género, según dicen uno de los mejores de este autor (me temo que es el único que he leído de él).Quizá para mí lo más destacable de este libro es que al leerlo tendió un puente hacia un mundo nuevo.Sin ánimo de hacer spoiler en el propio libro hay un lugar "mágico" que sirve de puente entre dos mundos*. La pregunta es: nos atreveremos a cruzarlo?

"Às vezes, morrer é melhor". A narrativa mais sombria de Stephen King (tão sombria que ele tentou impedir sua publicação). Trata do tema que mais nos intriga e assusta: a morte. E se tivéssemos a oportunidade de reviver quem amamos, mesmo sabendo que não seria a mesma pessoa (ou animal de estimação) que sairia da cova? O que isso causaria? Seria um ato nobre, ou um ato egoísta? As respostas estão neste livro, meus caros, uma leitura obrigatória não só para quem curte Stephen King, mas para aqueles que curtem o terror que gela os ossos... A presente edição possui um ensaio do autor, muito interessante, escrito nos anos 2000 e narrando o processo criativo e a hesitação entre publicar ou não publicar a obra.

La maestria: trasformare un padre di famiglia, un bravo marito, una brava persona, in un mostro psicopatico nello spazio di due tragedie. Un dramma che avrebbe dovuto essere familiare diventa l'universo di un uomo, il dolore diventa la determinazione di un follo, e intorno a lui tutto marcisce. La semina del dolore rende frutti avvelenati.E' la spirale discendente, dapprima lenta, poi sempre più veloce mentre leggi fisiche dementi trasportano i protagonisti verso una distruzione inevitabile su più livelli. E' difficile, nonostante sia detto esplicitamente nel libro, forse quasi che l'autore voglia giustificarsi per ciò che sta scrivendo, ascrivere tutto solo ad una forza oscura, Lovecraftiana, non definita ma per questo ancora più insidiosa e sinistra. C'è qualcosa di sbagliato in alcuni di noi, e nelle giuste circostanze, basta solo una spintarella... Vero?
