Product Description

Outside a peaceful town in central Maine, a monster is waiting...

Cujo is a huge Saint Bernard dog, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had. One day Cujo chases a rabbit into a bolt-hole, a cave inhabited by some very sick bats. What happens to Cujo, how he becomes a horrifying vortex inexorably drawing in all the people around him, makes for one of the most heart-stopping novels Stephen King has written.

Customer Reviews

heavily padded
This story is bulked out with a lot of irrelevant nonsense that seems inserted to keep the page count up. It is really a 30-page short story blown up to the size of a bookstand novel.

Much of King's output is actually quite poor. Some is terrific and frankly since he can't need the money I wish he would pay more regard to his reputation and write a bit less.

Cujo
This was my first Stephen King novel and still one of my favourites.
A definite must read for any King fan, anyone interested in horror.

Not His Best
I've just started reading Stephen King books, and I've enjoyed the other ones that I have read (Green Mile, Dark Half), and I am very dissapointed in this book.

It starts off by introducing all the people and families, and at the start it gets abit confusing, but later on you get to know who belongs to what family. It's only later on that the 'real' story begins, but it's not very gripping. I found myself just reading it to see what happens at the end, and how eah person plays out their part...and this is not always the best reason to be reading a book as you tend to find yourself scan-reading it.

Overall, in parts this book makes it so you can't put it down, but then a few pages later and the story turns back some mindless 'rambling'.
