Heart-Shaped Box

I don't understand all the hatred towards this book I've read here and on Amazon. I think perhaps people aren't enjoying it because they expect it to be just like King, or at least similar. I'm not a fan of King's work myself, and thoroughly enjoyed this book. It had suspense, drama, and an interesting plot. Thought the characterization was a bit lacking and some characters were pointless, overall it was a fun book to read and I could hardly put it down.
