"Root-root-root!"

In an Ohio neighborhood there lives an autistic boy called Seth who gets possessed by the entity Tak, which is an ancient creature which is forced to take a human host in order to use it's powers to control and torture those around it to gain energy, however it's met it's match in Seth.

The book has a lot of supernatural elements, including Seth manifesting characters and scenery from his favourite television shows - such as The Regulators. 

I liked this book, would I read it again though? Maybe not.

It was a good story, I just wasn't into it as much as it's 'Twinner' novel Desperation; the characters weren't as good this time around but it definitely gets four stars because I did like it for a read-oncer.

P.s.

Never thought about it until now but Tak reminds me of Dandelo from The Dark Tower series, anyone else?
