Stephen King can find evil in almost anything, even a two hundred pound puppy. Well, maybe not a puppy but a huge Saint Bernard. The main character is NOT the dog. He has a cameo role at best but is an essential part of the story. The human characters are very vivid, which is vintage Stephen King as a very good story teller. A relatively short read, but a very entertaining one.
I really liked this book, another scary book by Stephen King. I saw the movie first, but I'm glad I read the book or I'd have never known Cujo's thoughts as his rabies progressed, frightening!
While I know Steven King is a very good writer, his books are usually too intense for my tastes. I read this one, however, and couldn't put it down - but it definitely was intense!! Dog lovers will be uncomfortable with the story ............
