As a previous reviewer stated, this book is disturbing. Well, maybe it should be, it's a horror story, plain and simple. Or at least I thought so. It wasn't until I finished it, that it really hit me what bothered me about it. It wasn't the reading, I thought it was just fine. It was the simple fact that there is no depth, no meat, nothing to grab onto mentally. It's written just for the shock value, like the author was just throwing more and more "stuff" at the listener, to see just how much we could take. In my opinion, this is horror without any socially redeeming value to it. It's just well written garbage, and I guess you can tell I didn't like it. Cujo, Carrie, Christine, now there's some really fine horror writing. "...Tall Grass.." pales in comparison.
