DESCRIPTION:
Good Book But Animal Lovers Beware This book was hard to put down & even though I have read all of Mr. King's books, except this one, I wasn't sure I could read it being too much an animal lover.

This is definitely a novel that rewards re-reading. the Trentons; the poignancy of the amiable St. Bernard (yes, the breed choice is just right) infected by a brain-destroying virus that makes it into a monster; and the way the "daylight burial" of the failed ad campaign is reflected in the sunlit Pinto that becomes a coffin. And how significant it is that this horror tale is not supernatural: it's as real as junk food, a failing marriage, a broken-down car, or a fatal virus. city folk; the parallel marriage conflicts of the Cambers vs. When you read it again, you can pay more attention to the theme of country folk vs.
