Summary: You'll never see this on Oprah's book club.
Review: While the themes are something Oprah has touched upon - it's a little too out there! This book has so much to it. It will endear more female fans to Stephen King as well as please the typically male fan base.

It's interesting to have a book that can inspire fear, sorrow and inspiration all within a few 100 pages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Well Done!
Review: I enjoyed this book! I also enjoy a lot of stephen king's writtings and found this to be right up there on my list of his good books! Good job!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WOW!
Review: This is the first Stephen King book that I have read. His movies are so exellent it inspired me to read one of his books. The book I chose was Rose Madder. Wow, was it good! It gave me a feeling of suspense mixed with the facts of reality. After 14 years of abuse,Rose found the courage to leave Norman. Going to extreme measures Norman does every thing to get her back. Through out the book Stephen King gives very specific detail of everyones character, allowing you to enter the minds of each individual. Rose will give you a feeling of accomplishment,and Norm gives a sense of hate and disgust. King has definately created a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat wanting to read more and more. I would definately recomend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: King is the MAN!!
Review: "I'm really Rosie, and I'm Rosie real... you better believe me, I'm a great big deal." Stepehn King has done it again. I have read almost everyone of King's novels and i would have to say that this ranks near #1. This is a great story of a woman named Rose Daniels/Rosie McClendon. She's a wife of fourteen years and has been abused by her husband almost since day one. Rosie finally gained enough courage to leave the abusive relationship and finds herself in a strange, new world. As her life is moving at a very good pace, she has no idea that her husband has begun a search. The way that King writes his characters in this novel makes them easy to love or to hate. Rosie's outgoing personality makes her prone to meet new people and find new experiences. Overall I would say that this book is a very good read,it keeps you in the book from day one, you never want to put it down. I would recommend reading this book to anyone.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Rose Madder is ok
Review: Rose Madder by Stephen King is all right. I chose to rate this a three because I have read much better books by King than this. Rose McClendon-Daniel's is an abused wife. Her husband is a strong, smart police officer. When Rose decides she has had enough, she walks out of his life. He is outraged and humiliated. He sets out to find her in the new city where she has started her new life with the help from a few kind strangers. There are many twists and surprises that keep you reading, and you want to see what's going to happen next. There are some really funny parts in this book, for example the confrontation between Norman and a large lady named Gert. This book is a light read, even though it looks big. Some parts may require some thought, but most read easily. It does not take long to read, I finished in a weekend. I recommend it to those that like Stephen King and are looking for something quick to read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Terrific Story
Review: Rose Madder was a wonderful story about a women who escapes an abusive relationship. During her course of self discovery, her husband is on a course of his own discovery... insanity.

This book is great for readers who are not fans of horror books. It is a story about a women's journey and her will to live.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Rose Madder
Review: At first I was very discouraged to read this book because of it size. I wasn't used to reading books over 400 pgs. long, but once I started reading I couldn't put it down. What I loved about this book was the characters and the way he described them. Very detailed. The most favorite part of my reading was from one of the main characters, Norman. Stephen King not only gave a description of Norman, but described the roots of his thoughts as well, which led me to know more about this character than any other character in the book. As I read this book I found myself laughing at some parts and sad at other parts of the book. To me this book was like an all in one. Suspense, drama, comedy, and horror. Truly this book was a great enjoyment to me. This was the first Stephen King book I have ever read and I have to admit it has been one of the best books I've read so far. This is definetly a book worth reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Must-Read for any woman-Fantastic
Review: I don't know what I liked more, the characterizations(his description of Anna really DOES remind one of Bea Arthur) or the imagery; they all rang true. Stephen King is the first writer I've read that can make monsters of men without having to give them supernatural powers and at the same time make seemingly IMPOSSIBLE situations entirely plausible. The other great thing about this book is that none of the violence is gratuitous; it's part of the plot and each character.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will be shocked and intrigued!
Review: Stephen King has amazed me once again with his portrayal of a determined and courageous female. You can't help but root for Rosie the moment you read the first paragraph. Norman is the man you love to hate with his evil and maniacal ways. You will be shocked and intrigued at the length he will go to track down his wife and even more surprised at what Rosie will do to escape his terrifying grasp. Rosie will pull at your heartstrings while Norman will dig into the darkest recesses of your soul. The surprising plot twist will keep you on the edge of your seat. This is one story that will keep you up at night.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good!
Review: This book picks up at the beginning but lacks with the whole picture ordeal. Just goes to show you nobody is perfect. This is a companion to both Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne. If you are a women and love King's stories, pick those two up and this one anyway.
