I will give credit to the author that the idea is original, and it's very well written. The thing is, DON'T READ IT IF YOU DON'T LIKE HORROR TYPE STORIES. This book gave me nightmares, and I don't usually get too freaked out by books, so beware.

I read this book- IT IS NOT SCARY AT ALL! Sure, other people may disagree with me, but I find it just a little scary. Not creepy scary. No nightmares for me. And, by the way, this is a girl who still cries during Pixar movies.
