Kings novel CUJO shook me to my core then terrified and saddened me for days. The fact that he gives us insight into Cujo's mind taking a sweet dog and turning it into a rabid monster. This is what snagged my heart and ripped it to pieces when I was in high school, but granted it was a painful thrill. King spent a lot of time developing the characters, which went on a little too long and some were a little to racy for my taste. Many negative scenarios take place in the book, such as the deterioration of a family, alcoholism, child and spousal abuse just to name a few. I remember
forcing my self to breath while swimming through this rollercoaster of emotions. I highly recommend this book if your needing a little more stress in your life.
