I am a big fan of King, but this was one of his worst. If I read 100 pages, and dont like it, i quit reading. I struggled to even get that far on this. Reminds me of tommyknockers, which i didnt care for either.

OMG!! Awesome!!! This ended kinda strange-but it's SK. I read this one in a day and a half-only because I had to sleep.

King is always a great read.

I couldn't finish it, personally I thought it was terrible. And I'm a Stephen King fan :) But others seem to like it.

hardback copy great for your collection

Any Stephen King fan will know some of his books are better than others, but all are good reading. This one is no exception.

On a warm weekday in October, Jessie and Gerald Burlingame are alone in the bedroom of their Maine summer-house playing a game that isn't listed in Hoyle's. But then suddenly as Jessie hears the click of the second handcuff locking her to the bedposts and sees her husband looming over her, a nerve-snap of recognition tells her that this time Gerald is playing for keeps. Her next move is furious, violent and, she is shocked to discover, deadly. Giving up control is scary enough; it is terrifying when there is no one left to give it to.
Except that Jessie is not alone. Over the next twenty eight hours trapped in a lakeside house that has become a prison, Jessie will come face-to-face with all the things that she has ever feared. and the un-latched back door banging fretfully in the breeze is an open invitation to horrors she has never imagined. Inside the darkening bedroom, shadows gather in mute menace, while inside Jessie's head a taunting chorus of voices whisper and shriek: "Women alone in the dark are like open doors"...and if they cry out for help, who knows what dreaded things may answer...

I usually love Stephen King, but I could not get through this one. Graphic sexually violent plot elements with King's usual no-punches-pulled writing style make this a difficult read. I'm not usually a shrinking violet when it comes to graphic material, but this book was intolerable for me.

Gently read once.

Stephan King gives us his most ambitious work yet.

Stephen King has a unique way of telling a story and making you feel like you are part of it. Gerald's Game is no exception. I experienced fear when the wild animal chewed on Gerald's dead body and loneliness for his wife handcuffed to the bed. I was stunned at her bravery in releasing herself from her bonds. I would recommend this story to anyone who enjoys a good thriller. Better than watching a movie. I LOVED IT!!!!
