Helpful Score: 4
Another good book finished up today. My first by Jack Ketchum even though he's been recommended to me by many people over the years. Hide and Seek starts off slow, but interesting. For most of the book I really had no idea where Ketchum was headed, but nonetheless it held my interest greatly. There was just enough tension of knowing something was going to happen, just not what. A few times, we were led down blind alleys and I thought, "Here we go..." only to realize soon, "whoops...that's not where we were supposed to be headed..."
Once we got to where we were going, the title became clear and I knew I was in for a ride. The atmosphere filled with tension and I found myself literally sitting on the edge of my seat while reading. Conclusion was satisfying, yet darker than I imagined it would be, with just enough resolutions to make me happy, yet a few unanswered questions that left me thinking about the book the rest of the evening. Very good and I'll likely be back to read more Ketchum.
