I concur. It is probably one of the most intense, frightening, deep and scariest novels I've ever read. It's a whole new way to read a book. I recommend it to everyone. It has a little piece of everything in it. It main genre is horror, but it has a whole bunch of other things in it.
I skim over Johnny's parts. I found him a little too... for my taste.
