*** Stop me if you've heard of this book before:
An evil person who has a thing for children is eliminated but comes back years later intent on capturing more children and even enrolls someone to assist him in these new captures.
One of his survivors, now an adult, makes it their mission to hunt down this person.
Among the cast of characters is a stutterer, an overweight person with low self esteem and a vintage car that acts on its owner's decisions.
Oh, and the author of this book is from Maine.
Do you think Joe Hill was heavily influenced by Daddy's "It"?
Just maybe, rabbit, just maybe.
There's even reference to a certain year and a certain clown, though at different parts of the book.
The book was ok. The whole second half of this book could have been way shorter.
His constant use of cultural references as descriptions ("a punk-rock Keebler elf", "a passing resemblance to Popeye the Sailor Man", "He looked like that actor from the Alien movie, Lance Henriksen") seems like lazy writing.
And the constant repetitive explanation, reminding us why certain characters were taking certain actions. Where were the editors?
Not a bad book, it was ok.
