I rarely hate books. I threw this book across the room. (don't worry, it's still in one, solid piece!) I read once that Stephen Kind said that if he couldn't get the scare, he'd go for the "gross out" - well... he sure did that with this one. This one is not scary - it's gross. It's simply a woman gone insane, we watch her lose her mind and torture a man. There's enough grief in the world.
