Suffer the Little Children is characteristic of most of Stephen King's stories. It takes you into the life of a classroom of seemingly normal kids who are a bit intimidated by their teacher.(Angela Petropiento) It then moves you into questioning the your own assumptions. It builds you to a higher and higher suspense level, just when you think you know the ending, or have guessed the ending, you are left with a final question... and your own doubts.Angela Petropiento acting talent is excellent as Ms Sidley. While, I would have assumed an older, scarier looking school would be in order, the audience is left unprepared for the emotional scenes, since they come unannounced.
