Summary: JAWS has fur, and walks on four legs
Review: Old Yeller fades in comparison, Cujo's not just loco, he's smart, and wants YOU

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great reading, Scary because it is so realistic.
Review: I recommend this book to anyone for the simple fact that it is realistic, which makes it all the more scary.Leigh-Ann Gate

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A realistic tale of terror!
Review: Cujo is perhaps not King's best novel but it is definitely an enjoyable and frightening read. King sticks to more realistic terrors in this story of a St. Bernard who contracts rabies and terrorizes a woman and her young son, keeping them trapped in a car that refuses to start for several agonizing days in sweltering summer heat. King shows us not only Donna and Tad Trenton's horror at being held "hostage" but also lets us into Cujo's own mind, showing us his confusion and sickness. One feels almost sorry for Cujo and we get a glimpse of him not as a monster as Donna and Tad come to see him but rather as the sick and suffering creature that he is. Even though you feel some of Cujo's emotions, you will keep turning pages to see if Tad and Donna will survive their ordeal. Definitely worth reading

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: PRETTY DAMN SCARY
Review: Cujo was a danm good book. Not the best one I ever read but still good. King explains everything in great detail. It makes you feel almost as if you were the one trapped in a pinto as a huge dog with a bad attitude tries everything to eat you for supper. It was a good book an the scary part is that this really could happen! It really makes you think

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: AWESOME SUSPENSE
Review: GOOD STORY, BUT SORT OF DUMB AT POINTS. KEPT ME UP TILL THE CRACK OF DAW

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Stephen King's best.
Review: I read 'Cujo' several years ago and just re-read it a few weeks back. The portions of the book that dealt with what was going thru Cujo's mind were innovative and well done. I often wonder about the thought processes of my pets(or animals in general). Cujo was a simple being with simple needs that, while responding to his normal animal insticts, ended up with an unfortunate physical condition that converted him into a monster. Maybe Mr. King should have considered a different breed of dog to play Cujo; a St. Bernard is generally a very docile, amiable creature. At any rate, the book was a winner, as are most all of Stephen King's works.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the eerie one
Review: I really like this book, I thought it was really eerie, and would probably give you the creeps. What I especially liked about it was how Stephen King used such good and sometimes confusing words. "The epiphany was lost in low-key, exasperated anger". page 88. What I also enjoyed about the book was how it wasn't always about one person, it was about many different people coming in site if cujo. Another thing I liked was the way he described all the people's emotions such as Tad's horror when cujo was in his bedroom closet or how he described cujo.the dialogue was good too but I felt that he put too many curse words in it.
I think the theme of the story is as long as there is good, something bad usually will happen. I don't agree with this though, I would say its the other way around and that whenever something bad happens, something good will also happen. Luckily this theme doesn't really relate to my life. I guess if it did relate to my life I would have to say whenever i go on vacation i have to go back to school after.
I definetely would recommend this book to others because of al the thrills and how eerie it was. It wasn't to scary, just weird, it may be scary to some people but it pretty much just gives you the creeps. Also the words he uses to describe cujo's encounters will probably be a hihglight of the story

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Crazy Dog
Review: Cujo was a book I read... or went through... quick quickly. Even Stephen King says that he can forgive you for not reading every word because he does not remember writing much with it, because according to his current autobiography "On Writing" he says this was the one that was mostly a part of his cocaine addiction.

It is, for all essential purposes, a nice dog turned crazy running around a woman locked in her car. It is quite well described although you would have to imagine why some of his better short stories did not make it to this length.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I liked it
Review: Cujo by Stephen king is a great book. It kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens. The story starts of a lil slow but then gets better about half way through. Cujo is about a St bernard dog that was lovable and a very nice dog but then he came down with the rabies and went crazy. The book and movie were very similar with the exception of the en. I think everyone should read it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible...
Review: I love Stephen King; to use his term, I am a Constant Reader. Of course I enjoy some books more than others (faves: "The Shining," "The Stand," and "It"). I read "Cujo" in one evening. I could not put the book down until it was finished. I was completely entertained and on the edge of my seat the entire time!
