Agree about Jackson's writing. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did, because I've often had difficulty reading older books. But, yes, I very much enjoyed this book. Loving it might be a stretch, since I'm really not a big fan of horror (and those ending chapters were all sorts of O.O, because "Oh my God! What the heck is happening?!"); but it's definitely a excellent work of literature I'd recommend to anyone.
