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!
One of his classics, only King can find a way to make a rabid dog a nightmare for a town.
I don't think that Stephen King can write anything that isn't interesting. That being said, this book is nowhere near his best. It is an interesting book to pass a few hours but it just didn't creep me out like most of his books do. This is the only book that I have ever read by King that didn't have me reduced to a wimpy mess. This book is definitely worth the time invested, just don't make this your introduction to Stephen King if you've not read his work before.
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 ............
Recomended Great book!! A+++
