Summary: Anyone thinking King writes pulp fiction hasn't read enough
Comment: I have degrees in literature and am a professional writer, and proudly proclaim that Steven King is a genius.
I fully believe Steven King will be a mainstay of high-school and college English syllabi in years to come. Why?
1. He knows his craft. His writing paints a picture.
2. He takes his craft to a new level. (One-word chapters, italicized paranthetical thoughts interrupting the narrative.)
3. He doesn't talk down to his readers. He draws them in to his world.
4. He knows characterization. Every character comes alive, no matter how small his/her role is in the story. That's real life.
5. He knows marriage. His books are as much about relationships as they are about horror and fantasy.
6. He knows kids. Ellie Creed is just one example of a Steven King child who speaks like a child, acts like a child, reacts like a child.
7. His imagination is unsurpassed. I don't even need to elaborate on this one.
"Pet Sematary" is King's magnum opus. Anyone who thinks King writes beach-books and drugstore trash obviously hasn't read any King.

Summary: way too much for the issue of death
Comment: This is one heck of a Stephen King book...This is my first Stephen King novel and I absolutely love it.
Dr. Louis Creed with his wife Rachel, daughter Ellie, son Gage & their cat Church, moved from Chicago to Ludlow...Everything seemed to be perfect, from their friendly neighbors, (old guy Jud Crandall and his wife Norma) to Louis' job...Until one day, the family discovers the Pet Sematary, wherein Jud told them that people buried their pets in that place...Ellie, who was barely 6, learned and denied the tragic issue of death...She realized that her most valuable posession, her cat Church, would also die...This issue came to its toll between Louis and Rachel...But it didn't stop there...Later on, Louis would terribly learn about the true tale of Pet Sematary- that if you bury the dead, it could come back to life.
This book is something you won't put it down...You will be eager to know what is the real score behind the Pet Sematary and how will it (horrifyingly) affect the Creed family..This book wasn't 100% scary at all- except for the first parts and the final chapters of the book, which were pretty creepy...And yes, from what I have read in "Pet Sematary", I'm sure I'm gonna start a Stephen King collection.

Summary: Pet Semetary
Comment: Pet Semetary was a pretty good book. It was good for a while but the end was kind of stupid because you had to use your imagination to know what happen,. Besides the ending it was ok. I would suggest this book to someone with a lot of time in their hands. Stephen King is one messed up guy.
