Disturbing...
Cujo is a good dog. He would do anything for his man, his woman and his boy. He would even die for them if it came to that. But when Cujo goes messing around and contracts the terrible disease rabies, he turns into a completely different dog. A dog that Donna and her son are about to meet face-to-face. This is a very sad cautionary tale. Above all things that I say in this review, I pray that you take this one thing with you... PLEASE VACCINATE YOUR ANIMALS!! With that out of the way, let's proceed to the review of the book. Like any Stephen King novel this book has a LOT of fluff. There is a lot of character build up and the beginning is filled with not much more than that. The action of this book does not start until more than halfway through it. I found Donna to be a very dislikable character. Not just in general but also because I don't appreciate people who cheat on their spouses. It shows a lack of fine character and moral values. I liked her husband Vic but more felt sorry for him than anything else. And poor little Tadd. I have mixed feelings about the way this book ended. I don't quite remember it ending like this in the film which I watched years and years ago and am having difficulty remembering. However again like most Stephen King novels this is absolutely masterfully written and the story, though slow to start, is very engaging for the reader. This is definitely one that will terrify you! I think the realism in this book is what makes it so scary. This could really happen! Very good storytelling. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a a novel that will truly scare you!
