A review by zoer03
Rose Madder by Stephen King

5.0

Wow!!!! This is an absolute gem of a book. It doesn’t only deal with domestic abuse issues it delves into the minds of both the abuser and the victim or victims shall we say... there’s also a hint of magic and myth and a sort of dream like quality to the whole story. This is marvellous and such a strong female lead cast of characters with whom you love and support and the ending wow!!!! I think this is the first Stephen King novel I have read where I don’t feel sympathy for the villain... in fact I kind of relished his just deserts, as he had so many choices to stop and leave. Love it just love it. Obsession, love, lust, murder, brutality and female power and mystery.
