Never read the book, but jeez, that sounds so fucking sad. *snuggles own dog*

The book is downright cruel. If you love animals -any animal- it will break your heart into little pieces. It's probably the cruelest book by King, and it's also one of his worst. I don't recommend it at all.

The only positive thing it has its that it never blames the DOG for what happened.

See, that's why I think it's one of his best.

Well, story-wise, I'd agree with you. But the prose is not as good as his other books, and he dropped a thousand plot points and there are about a hundred pages where nothing happens. so... well, that's why I don't like it that much.

King was completely coked out and drunk at the time, he doesn't even remember writing the book. That's why it's so....yeah.

According to On Writing, King was so strung out on booze and drugs that he doesn't even remember writing Cujo, so I'm not surprised to hear it's not one of his more coherent works (in as much as Stephen King has ever been known for coherence).

To be fair (ish. very ish) he did write it while he was probably on ten kinds of drugs. I think this is the book, or one of the books, that he said he barely remembered writing at all.

Oh, yes. And speaking about the prose, it's far better than the other one he wrote in that period, Tommyknockers. But it's still soul-crushing cruel.

Ah man I loved Tommyknockers. That one was so obviously written on drugs that made it fun.

It is - I just read about that this week. He was so jacked up on drugs he doesn't even remember it.

Ughhhh, this sounds like the book version of Amores Perros, and I had a lot of trouble with that.

Granted, I don't really enjoy King's type of horror, so I probably won't read it REGARDLESS, but...
