This has to be one of my favorites by King. I had seen the movie so I was reluctant to read the book....there are so many other books on my list to be read why waste my time reading a book that I had seen the movie for? Boy am I glad I decided to read the book. The ending is nothing like that of the movie. This book is all the more frightening because he is writing about real people and this could happen. I stayed up way past my "bedtime" to read this one.
Intense...and scary....well worth the read!
EVERYDAY TERROR...King Classic that puts the mundane into a blender and lets it splash out in gore all over you...not for the faint hearted as the story becomes too real to ignore.

Hard to read (in my opinion) if you are a big animal lover.
The ultimate beast is loose—and Stephen King is sending him your way!
A big, friendly dog chases a rabbit down a hidden underground cave—and stirs a sleeping evil crueler than death itself. A terrified four-year-old boy sees his bedroom closet door swing open untouched by human hands, and screams at the unholy red eyes gleaming in the darkness. The little Maine town of Castle Rock is about to be invaded by the most hideous menace ever to savage the flesh and devour the mind…
A big friendly dog chases a rabbit into a cave, and wakes a sleeping evil crueler than death itself.
Ok, I have tried and tried but I can not read this book. It scares the crap out of me. I got futher this time (like to chapter 3) but thats it I am done trying. I have accepted that Cujo is to scary for me to read and is the reason I have to have all closet doors closed when I sleep.
If you like Stephen King, this is a wonderful book. Don't be afraid to scream out loud!

This dog is SO scary! At times you feel sorry for him, but mostly you wish he would just die!
