5.0 out of 5 stars Is Cujo the sequel to The Dead Zone?, January 29, 2004

By 

ghostmann (Sacramento) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Cujo (Signet) (Paperback)

it just could be. in the dead zone there was a castle rock serial killer named frank dodd, and in the course of in the book he meets his demise. now in cujo, KING eludes to dodd's evil spirit (or the evil that possessed dodd) somehow entering the dog cujo. an evil that never dies...just takes new forms. now i know most of you think of the lame movie when you hear CUJO, but the book is more about a family struggling to stay together then the rabid dog. you can tell KING was going thru some hard times when he wrote this novel, it shows (by his own admission in his book On Writing, he says he was doing a bunch of coke during the writting of cujo). the rabid dog is almost an after-thought for most of the story...and when ol' CUJO does show up it freaks you out. check it out. -erik

5.0 out of 5 stars King Is Still King, January 30, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Cujo (Signet) (Paperback)

"Cujo" IS a gripping and compelling novel which pulls the reader in by leaving open ends thoughout the entire experience. This book is great from start to finish. You will find it imposible to put down. King is an incredible writer, and the best of his ability shines through in the novel with an easy to get into story and a scary as hell atmosphere. Many people may not understand how a rabid dog makes for a good read, but King writes the novel in such a way as to give the young nightmares and keep the old looking over their shoulders. King writes the novel exploiting every disturbing and gory detail to its fullest. This book is not for the faint of heart, but for those who can stomach it, it's a great read. This book is written like many of Kings novels, as a suspenseful horrifying novel full of twists and bends and freaky story telling. Cujo is a book that in my mind changed the way many authors write horror books. Cujo is the only horror novel I have read that kept me up for weeks and made me think. This is a horror novel and for anyone who likes Cooney or Pike will love this book

5.0 out of 5 stars A great horror book on a ride of your life!, January 23, 2003
