** spoiler alert ** This is one of those cases where I like the movie more than the book. The movie seems to tell the story more effectivly and makes it seem more believable. The book goes into way to much detail that doesn't really need to be there. There's far too many characters that don't need to be there as well. I also don't really buy the idea of ghosts killing nearly everyone in a small town just for a 100 year old revenge, which is probably why I like the movie more. Anyway, it's a good read, flows pretty well and the ending is good too.
