dark slow-paced

2.0

If this would've been written entirely (or mostly at least) in Cujo's point of view, this could've been a four star book. But the unnecessary, hideously boring jarring affairs, childhood memories and what other garbage (like Steve Kemp's existence) that didn't further the plot and didn't grow on the characters made this such a drag to read. The amount of characters with no relevance and still five pages worth of character background made me want to quit the story. Typical Stephen King.

Really good! I wasn’t expecting this to be as literary as it was - it had all the hallmarks of a typical pulpy horror (which I wouldn’t mind) but it was more a story of human life than anything. While it was my first introduction to King’s work, I understand that it is a bit of an outlier in its humanness. It makes the book even sweeter that it’s a one-off. Very good.
