You never expect what is going to happen. Definitely one of Hoover's best novels, I would totally recommend this book for anyone looking for a thrilling read.
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.
