King is my all-time favorite author and the only reason I gave this book 4 rather than 5 stars is that it’s a bit dark, even for King and I had some trouble getting through parts of it. And unlike much of King’s other work, which is really about human nature and how people will react in certain situations, this one is primarily about some really terrible creatures. The books two main characters are Dan Torrence, the young boy, now a man, who survived the story described in “The Shining”, and a young girl named Abra who shares Dan’s ability to “shine”. They come together in this story to battle the evil creatures but they also discover something about themselves and their relationship. It’s not for the faint of heart, but if you like a story that may frighten you, then you will enjoy this one.

Great light read, funny with lots of magical and southern charm. Loved the first and now loved the second !!!!

I have to say, I enjoyed this book and its quirky characters. Perhaps a little kooky and it is a bit easy to predict the final outcome, but thoroughly enjoyable along the way. Good summer read.

The beauty of this book is that although the story is engaging, the characters are so well developed, that I found them to be the best part of the book. While the book is titled The Boy from the Woods, it’s not really about him, but about how things unfold around him. It’s more about the terrible tying times of high school and adolescence and what happens when those who go unpunished for their crimes as a youth grow up to be an adult and view themselves above it all. This is a great book.

This book was well written but a bit to disturbing for me.

Although the dysfunctional family planning this wedding we’re interesting , the story never evolved into something that made me love it

Pretty grim reading - suggested to me by my son who knows I like horror , this is a horror like story but it is true crime - could have been edited down a few hundred pages but the story was written in a journalistic fashion .

This book kept me guessing at every turn I really enjoyed the way the other spoke in multiple points of view! Will try more of sagers books!

If Jodi Picoult wrote it, I read it. Unfortunately, this was just a meh story. I did enjoy her descriptions of Egypt and the characters experience there, but the main story was a bit lacking and a tad unbelievable.

I adored this book. Sweet and light read…perfect for the beach. I couldn’t put it down and finished in one day!
