Editorial Review:
Renowned for its superior productions, BBC radio may have outdone itself by adapting Stephen King's Pet Sematary to audio. A clamorous cacophony of talking, whining, whistling, and howling, Pet Sematary is a quick, entertaining earful for those who don't have other auditory distractions to contend with, such as a car full of talking whining, whistling, howling children. However, the melodramatic prose marries well with the acting; such is the case when one reader--whose voice bears an uncanny resemblance to Kramer's from Seinfeld--tells another about the effects of the Pet Sematary: "Heroin makes junkies feel good when they put it in their arms, but all the time it's poisoning their mind and body--this place can be like that and don't you ever forget it!" (Running time: three hours, two cassettes)
"Sometimes dead is better...."
When the Creeds move into a beautiful old house in rural Maine, it all seems too good to be true: physician father, beautiful wife, charming little daughter, adorable infant son -- and now an idyllic home. As a family, they've got it all...right down to the friendly cat.
But the nearby woods hide a blood-chilling truth -- more terrifying than death itself...and hideously more powerful.

Rating:  - Stephen King does it again.. ;)
I myself when I bought this, had already read so many books by Stephen King. He is my favorite author. I love the way he writes. In this book, it sent me to another world. It let me see what choices we make always end up with some type of consequence. It's a must read, and I couldn't put it down until I was done! :)
Rating: - "Pet Sematary" By Stephen King
When asked by people what he thinks his scariest book is Mr. King almost automatically replies "Pet Sematary," you will learn this little fact if your read the prologue of Pet Sematary, but why through all of the novels Mr. King has written dose this one hit home? Well it's because a lot of what's written down in this novel could happen to anyone and parts of it did or almost did happen to the author himself.
But to describe the story Pet Sematary is a truly scary book right when you ... Read More
Rating: - King's brilliance cannot be denied on this novel.
It's kind of a toss up.
This book or Salem's Lot, which is better?
"Pet" is simply, brilliant, disturbing, and unforgettable.
Another masterpiece that was made into a disaster of a movie.
Like Salem's Lot, ignore the movie(s) and go with the books.
"Pet" is a page turner, I think I ripped through it in a few days.
The characters, the story, the ATMOSPHERE are just remarkable.
King at his most masterful.
Another must read must buy.
My only complaint ... Read More
Rating:  - More Emotional than Scary
I liked this book overall, but if you are looking for something to utterly terrify you, you may not enjoy this as much. The last hundred pages or so was probably the scariest, and even that was a little tame compared to other works King' put out there.
Nevertheless, this story still works. In the foreward of the book, Stephen King says this is the scariest book he ever wrote. And it is, only for different reason. Many look at this as being a piece of horror fiction, and even though it certainly ... Read More
Rating: - Another great Stephen King book
Creepy but really compelling, Stephen King once again offers a page turning story that is more about the characters then the scares. When the scares do come, they seem more shocking because of the character development. Fun and interesting read.
