Summary

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a monster came to the small town of Castle Rock, Maine.... He was not a werewolf, a vampire, a ghoul, or an unnameable creature from the enchanted forest or snow wastes; he was only a cop....

Cujo is a huge Saint Bernard dog, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had. Then one day Cujo chases a rabbit into a bolt-hole. Except it isn't a rabbit warren anymore. It is a cave inhabited by rabid bats. And Cujo falls sick. Very sick. And the gentle giant who once protected the family becomes a vortex of horror inexorably drawing in all the people around him....

Irritating voices

Good story but irritating narration. Voices all seem to degenerate to croaky, whiny frogs at moments of tension

No disappointment

Such a sad story. Very tense moments. One would almost hope it would end differently.

Just as gripping as the written version

I was doubtful that the Audible would work but I was proved wrong. Thanks. Audible.

“MOOOOMMMYYYYYY!!!!”

The 4 yrs old’s voice truly made me side with Cujo for a few chapters.

The Fear Of The Dog …..

Another King novel that had me gripped, specifically the ‘Ford Pinto vs Dog’ scene, which was by far the most enticing part of the story. Good character development and sub-plot building - the various background stories somewhat leading to the fate of certain people! The deaths were gruesome (one of which caught me completely off guard) and I think the portrayal of a family Dog, becoming a possessed, frightening serial killer, was done successfully. Not my favourite King plot (stiff competition) but still an enjoyable read.

A great story with just one or two flat spots.

The usual Stephen King gift for a gripping narrative on display but sometimes you get the feeling that a detour is less to do with character development or necessary secondary plot lines and more about padding out word-count. Even when King is just shooting the breeze, he still manages to do it interestingly, so who cares.
