When I started I was very skeptical. I was thinking, a book about a guy named Ig who wakes up with horns on his head and some Devil powers is going to be lame. But this ride is at times funny, touching, deep, romantic, and sad. I'm not completely sure how it will end but I'm giving it a recommendation based on the 80-odd % I've read so far. It feels a little like "Stand By Me" meets "The Shining" (boyhood innocence combined with subtle supernatural horror).

He's Stephen King's son by the way.
