Comment: If you undertake this book be prepared to withdraw from friends and family for several days. I am not a huge horror fan and in my opinion this does not constitute a horror novel despite being categorized thus. It is in my opinion one of the most engrossing tomes I have ever encountered. Never again will you view the term "use someone" in the same vein after reading this book. If you look closely you will see a dedication to Wolf Blitzer in the front of the book.
