I believe I have read my last page of this book. :-P

Alright... it may have "Jumped the Shark" but it got some good redemption points in that last scene. It moved the book out of straight horror and a little bit into horror/adventure IMHO. We'll see. But I feel more encouraged about the 2nd half now.

This feeling is not dissimilar to your football team getting way behind, then being able to put together a scoring drive right before 1/2 time. ;-)

Uh oh... Heart-Shaped box may have just jumped the shark for me. It's WAY too early in the book for this level of tom-foolery.

This may put the book more into a "are you serious?" category than a hiding under my covers with a flashlight category like it was initially.

This book is pretty, uh, scary so far. Not being a "horror" reader in general, is that usually the goal? I mean, so far it's been like a really great ghost story. O.O
