"Flesh-creepingly real" would be an understatement"
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!

A very scary and worth to read book. I wanted to finish the whole book in one night. It kept me occupied for many days.the settings are very spooky... and we know something terrible can happen at any moment.Very sad ending but we are not sure what happens to ellie at the end. I really wish for a sequel for this book.Gweat and tewwible settings...you will know what that is as you read the book. The secluded place, far away from the busy cities is the place where the Orinco trucks roam.. taking the lives of many pets over the last 100 years. but this place hides a dark secret which may seem a dream come true.. but the dream isnt a good one.

An underwhelming experience
This is my second Kingโs books after Green Mile and even though I enjoyed the writing, halfway through the book, I could easily guess the ending and only completed it to see how the author finishes it. I am sure this book had much more impact when it first came out. Back then, access to content was much less and so, the premise would have been much impactful. Anyhow, this is not a bad book per se and I would still recommend it as a good old horror fiction.

# PETS # DEATH # EMOTIONS # SPOOKY # EERIE # LOSS OF LIFE # RESURRECTION IDEOLOGY & ITS PROS CONS
Received book in good condition Since 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 ๐ค๐ค

King's legacy
The cover speaks for the book. Although the book got damaged in the process but overall a great story to enjoy. It's the "King's" legacy to enjoy.
