This book is very dissapointing. It is like reading the screen play to the movie. It seems the book was taken word for word and put on the screen.I read the book hopping to get more insight into the charcters, but I didn't get it. There is zero character development and very little suspense. This is a horror novel, I think the children's book Where the Wild Things are scared me more. Levin's writting is so flat it does not build any suspense.At least in the movie there is it some suspense.
