• Rated 4 stars  I don't really know where to begin. Cujo is
really a simple story at it's core, but Stephen King adds
dimension to it making it a truly terrifying novel. I read it
slowly over the course of the week (though I could have burned
right through it in a couple of hours time,) and it gave me
nightmares all week!  Cujo is a realistic story that could take
place in your town or mine, with your friend's or my neighbor's
dog, and I think that's what makes it so frightening. Stephen
King is a master of writing real characters, I truly believe
that is why he is such a popular author. The stories he writes
are so believable, making you want to peer into that dark closet
or under the bed, looking for the lurking monster.  If you've
never read any Stephen King, you should give him a try. Cujo
would definitely a good novel to start with. Disturbing as it
is, Cujo is a shining example of excellent writing that can
really move the reader.  Susan wrote this review Saturday,
