Louis Winyard-sears _aws_i_lustrations — This book is an instant hook. I wanted to keep reading it even after the last page, especially since it ended the way it did, so open ended. Sequel perhaps? I loved how the book was broken up into the different points of view. Saffron, Emer, Fred, and of course the dogs. I enjoyed reading Emer's story primarily because, well, who doesn't love pirates, especially kick ass female pirate like Emer. She is such a ferociously tough character that you are instantly compelled to root for her. Emer and Saffron are the same, but different. Saffron's a teenager that's never had to fight. She's tough in her own way: she knows what she wants, what she needs, and knows what's best for her and her family. She doesn't stand for any crap from people, even from her own family. Emer's headstrong swashbuckling persona peeks through in moments when Saffron's at her worst, filled with annoyance or hatred. Where Saffron is relatable to teenagers today, Emer is relatable to everyone who seeks adventure. Who doesn't want to be a pirate for a day? Emer's one of those characters where you can't get enough of. I found myself living through her, murdering and pillaging ships. She's a survivor through and through and stands for hope when love seems lost. I admire AS King for her effortless writing, masterfully sewing Saffron and Emer together, making their story one, even though the characters are far apart. I enjoyed Saffron's journey back to Jamaica with her shovel to dig up her loot, yet it left me heartbroken and sad, even after a sudden turn of events on the last page. I wanted that true happy ending. And while some may argue she got it, I wanted to read it. My only problem... not enough romance perhaps. I wanted more of Seanie. H came and went too quickly.Overall it is a fast paced, well narrated, heartbreaking, tender and filled with heightened emotion.This book has so many layers, so many wonderfully place details and such intriguing characters that I will without a doubt reread this.

Harish Singh singhharisb639 — My favorite Stephen King book so far. This book was scary, but not in the way I thought it would be. It was scary because it made me sympathize with someone who was an abusive alchoholic (it was just an accident...). The way the Overlook slowly twisted his mind was also frightening.
