Summary: An unbelievably mindbending book
Review: This is the best King book I have read yet. I was totally captured by this story...lots of parts were hard to read because of the gore but I couldn't put this book down even then. I finished the book in less than a day because I was so hooked. And then I couldn't sleep that night. The way Jessie Burlingame's mind keeps twisting the past and present, dreams and reality, will make you start to question your own mind. It's a great psychological thriller but it's also deeper than that...it makes you think about how much we take forgranted and that it's so important to face the shadows that scare us before they get too big to control. Read this book if you want a story that will pull you in and not let go until the ride's over, and maybe not even then because you'll find that you can't stop thinking about it.

Summary: Very original
Review: If nothing else, just the idea of this story deserves great credit. When i first heard of this novel i didn't think much of it but after reading it you have to wonder where king comes up with this stuff. Stephen King digs deep into the human psyche and delivers a tale about the fine line between reality and insanity. I believe that this book is a perfect example of how much more talented King is compared to the rest. No other author could have pulled this story off!

Summary: Breathtaking
Review: This novel is similar to MISERY in that most of the action takes place with the protagonist chained to a bed. It begins as Jessie Mahout Burlingame joins her husband Gerald for an October romp in their country house in a lakeside town deserted for the season. Gerald's "game" is bondage - he likes to handcuff his wife to the bed, and has purchased real police handcuffs for the purpose. Once cuffed, Jessie gradually realizes she hates this, and tells Gerald she wants him to take off the handcuffs. He behaves as though her protests are just part of the game, and she realizes he has no intention of letting her go. In the ensuing scuffle, Gerald ends up dead on the floor, while Jessie is still handcuffed to the bed, and no one within miles, or so she thinks.If she can't find a way out of the handcuffs, she's sure to die a slow and agonizing death. As she lies there, trying to think, fighting the needs of her imprisoned body, long-repressed memories begin to surface of what happened on that long ago day, July 20th 1963, when she watched a total eclipse of the sun with her father. The same eclipse another King heroine, Dolores Claiborne, saw at the same time in a different part of Maine. The suspense mounts as the past and present stories unfold - what happened to 10 year-old Jessie all those years ago? And in the present, how will she get out of the handcuffs? Meanwhile, a ghostly apparition terrifies her as she lies helpless in her abandoned country house. Is it Death, come to claim her? A hallucination? Or something more real? This is an amazingly crafted novel. It will take your breath away, in more ways than one.

Summary: The most shocking novel I have ever read
Review: It is not shocking because of its plot, which is hair-raising itself, but because of how utterly hard it must have been to write. I am conviced that King gave himself this monumental writing task just to amuse himself. "What is the absolute most difficult novel I can write?" he seems to ask, and then he sets about answering it masterfully. The entire novel takes place in a single room, with a single character that can only move six inches in any direction...and yet King manages to keep the action moving and the plot taunt. I am a King fan, I have read all of his fiction, and for me the quality of his novels varies greatly. Some are fantastic, some I can barely get through. It is because of Gerald's Game that I will never miss reading a new King novel, and it is because of Gerald's Game that I forgive him his flops.

Summary: ANOTHER SIDE OF STEPHEN KING!
Review: For Stephen King fans who are accustomed to his penchant for horror, "Gerald's Game" will seem totally out of line with previous books. Here readers will not find horror or ghouls in the night but a phychological suspense, and King's creative talents turn to gold in this novel. Jesse Burlingame finds herself in a game which ends up evoking more than a twinge of kinky excitement and passion. What begins as a game between Jesse and her husband, Gerald, turns to something far more sinister and frightening as Jesse finds herself handcuffed to the bed with a major case of panic setting in. The book is mature in content and definitely not one you would want to leave sitting on your bottom shelf for curious children to explore. What goes on in Jesse's mind as the story unfolds is nothing short of pure paranoia and fear. While this book is far removed from many of King's other works, in my opinion it is one of his best, outranked only by "The Stand" and "The Green Mile." This is not one of King's newest books, but it is one of his best to date.

Summary: Great Thriller...Not his best, but good!
Review: If there are people who call this book "King's Worst Book" Or rate it 1 star, then that tells you one or two out of two things: One, the person is utterly stupid, or Two, the person compares this book too much to other King books. THe latter is the more common ailment to these people. This is not your ordinary King book, no monsters, no Supernatural things, just plain, real-life happenings. But the way King writes it, it just blows you away. This is a psycho/thriller book which gets into the mind of the woman, and it scares you half to death. This is not King's best book, in my eyes, (The Stand is still #1) It's not even his second best book, not as good as IT, but this is a good, solid, third best book by Stephen King. No matter what, a good read.

Summary: His Worst Book!
Review: I am a big fan of King, but I can say with certainty that this is his worst novel. It may have been better as a short story.

Summary: BEST STEPHEN KING EVER!
Review: A physchological thriller that enters the realm of molestation as a child, bondage, and self-esteem. Throughout the days Jessie is hand-cuffed to her bed and her husband lay dead on the floor, she is revisted with past emotions that make each hour she is chained to the bed a living. Through hearing voices, and seeing figures, she allows her self to release her emotions in a frightful, yet melodramatic way, creating an intense, frightful novel that keeps the reader reading just wondering how much more she will sink into the depths of emotional hell.
