Rating: Summary: Evil is everywhere, even under the bed, even in your dog. Review: Another SK book about the omnipresent experience of eveil, whether in the local nutty cop, (beginning) the monsters lurking in the closet(snik) or the ones in your family dog, or the ones in your family(as Dannys mothers sister screams into the phone at Dannys mother - stay away, stay away -I escaped your town, experiences, whatnot, now don't come near me). All SK's books are about the horror experiences even the average person experiences, whether by werewolves, vampires, or just the people next door, or in ones own family. He just dresses them up with names like Cujo, Christine, whatever. SK is, in my opinion, an incredible chronicler of peoples inner lives, their thoughts, what really goes on in day-to-day living. Excellent, very under-rated writer,
Rating: Summary: Everything A Book Should Be! Review: This was definately one of Stephen King's best books! It was a great suspense and It didn't take 6 weeks to read. Stephen King combines his talent with your imagination in a short but AWESOME book that can easily be read on a lazy weekend! You MUST read this book!
Rating: Summary: Reading this book.... Review: ... was a bit like watching one of those special-effects extravaganza disaster movies -- the focus of the book, it's sole redeeming feature, was the disaster itself, in this case Cujo. The simplistic attempts at psychology were relatively weak, shallow, and somewhat cliche-driven, or so it seemed to me. However, I read this book with the same guilty-pleasure mindset one gets from watching such a disaster movie as I've previously mentioned, and to this end, the shallowness of the characters only added to my enjoyment. This was because the book's focal point, for me, was "wouldn't it be cool if a very large, powerful dog got rabies and went on a rampage?" If the characters had enough depth to actually make me care about whether or not they got eaten by a rabid dog, then the book would have ceased to draw from me that morbid, voyeuristic fascination which it did.I've only read to other books by Stephen King so far, "Needful Things," and "Gerald'! s Game," both of which, I thought were of much higher quality than this -- Both were very well, and intelligently written, and the focus seemed not so much to scare the reader, or to indulge their morbid curiousity, but to reveal and explore the external and internal landscapes of the various characters involved. Overall, this book was a dissapointment, especially after reading all the good reviews found here. Nevertheless, the few hours I spent reading this book were anything but boring.

Rating: Summary: Read This if you want to Scare Yourself. Review: One day a dog chases a rabbit into his burrow where many bats live. Cujo is bitten by the bats and now brings terror to Tad and his family. A story of a friendly dog who becomes a two-man killer.
Rating: Summary: Scary! Review: This book is excellent if you want to scare yourself!
Rating: Summary: SPELLBINDING Review: THIS BOOK WAS AN EVEN BETTER BOOK THAN THE MOVIE. THE STORY OF TORMENT THAT CUJO WENT THROUGH AS IF WE WERE INSIDE THAT POOR SICK DOG'S MIND ...FELT THE TERROR AND HORROR OF THE PEOPLE TORMENTED BY CUJO IN HIS HOURS OF AGONY
Rating: Summary: Scary for a diffrent reason Review: I have to agree with the people who said that this book has a lot of unconnected ideas, but I think the scariest aspect is the fact that unlike most of King's books, this is a plausable situation that could occur in real life... watch your back...
Rating: Summary: I Loved Cujo!!! Review: I have only read two Stephen King Books.(The Shining and Cujo) I like Cujo more. This book can get very scarey and sort of sad at the end. I can't understand why so many people gave it a low rate. This book is full of action at the end and down right scary because this book seems as it could be true. All you need is to be stuck in a broken car with a 200 plus pound rabid dog outside that just wants to kill you. I recomend this to all King's fans
Rating: Summary: a pinto with really CHEAP doors Review: i guess i gave this book a "7" because altho it is not a truly GOOD book, it is certainly an entertaining one. there are a few confusing parts but enuf good ones are in there to keep the reader's attention. i would recommend it if you're just lying around, or if you're stuck in a car or something (not by a rabid dog but a family trip). i bet this review makes it seem like a pretty bad book, but it really isn't. it's a great one for lazy summer days!
