I give Cujo by Stephen King a 5 out of 5 rating. Stephen King is known for being a great horror/thriller author and is a #1 New York Times bestselling author. He has also written It, The Shining, Pet Sematary, and The Green Mile. This book looked appealing to me since I recognized the author's name. The book is about Cujo, a dog that gets bitten by a bat and gets infected with rabies. The rest of the story demonstrates the impact that he has on the humans around him. The book started out with a story of a serial killer, and a description of his actions, and applied this to the present setting, where a little boy wakes up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, and he sees a heap of blankets and a teddy bear, which he believes is the serial killer talking to him. While reading this, there was a lot of foreshadowing going on. Stephen King is a very great storyteller. The book was very suspenseful and kept me turning the pages. He gave me a great sense of setting, introducing new characters smoothly and weaving the story together perfectly. I expected to feel scared and thrilled throughout the rest of the book and Stephen King has certainly written it that way. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thriller/suspenseful books. Then a side note, if you like dogs, you may want to reconsider, as this book can really change how you feel about dogs. But it's also entirely fictional.
