Now this was one fantastic book. It was made into a movie as well. I knew beforehand that this was the case but I have a rule that I read the book first, movie second. Of course when I do this, I constantly criticize the movie every time saying out loud, "That didn't happen, hey, that wasn't like that in the book." LOL.

I watched the trailer on YouTube but haven't seen the movie as of yet. I look forward to it though.
If your looking for a good spooky tale that you can about read in one sitting this is it. Perfect for Thanksgiving as it takes place during that time. Five students have stayed behind at their college during Thanksgiving break. In one form or another these students are outcasts, or the ones who have some tough issues going on in their personal lives. A massive rain storm as moved in and the students inadvertently come together in the main living room, beside a roaring fire. All would have been well until the Ouija board comes out. Bad idea. What they conjure leads them on a roller coaster ride towards potential death.

Loved the ending of the book. Its one of those stories that stays with you. The kind you think about days later, wishing you could read some more, wishing for another page or even just to read it again. I recommend this book!
