How do you get hooked to a book? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

"The Oath" is about a guy, I think his name was Steve Benson but it's been a while since I've read it, who's brother was killed by what everyone thinks is a bear. But, when the body is examined, it's not a bear that did the killing. Feeling a need to know, Steve goes to the small town of Hyde River, near to which the killing occured.

He finds himself in the midst of a deep mystery involving the small town and no one will tell him what's going on. The book is very long and very detailed. There is a lot of "boring" background information, but if you can get to the half-way point of the book, it starts getting very interesting and very scary. Don't read it too late at night, though.
