I once saw a St. Bernard at Mines View Baguio where you get to have photo ops for a fee. Its huge, I'm guessing not more than 150 lbs. But Cujo at 200 lbs, more like a bear than a dog.
The story is a case of 'wrong place at wrong time' meets 'big dog gone wild.' Two families, a tragic ending for one and relieve for the other.
I read this book with a critical mindset looking for loopholes and loose ends. King is very clever in priming his readers about Frank Dodd, old lady Aunt Evvie's weather prediction and kids vomitting blood and getting sick and all. Leading his readers to imagine that these things has something to do with Cujo's transformation. After i got pass through these parts I'm hooked.
I got a laugh at how Joe Camber suffered his fate (ouch!). The guy Steve Kemp is more deserving.
The end part is a race against time. I never expected the outcome to be that way.
I enjoyed the book immensely. The story is seamless and plausible. This is the just second book of King that i read (Christine the other). I'm not much into the horror genre, maybe i'll make King an exemption.
@ summer hi!
D ko alam may chapters pala Cujo. My copy is one continuous wall of text haha. I dont know if its just me, pero na engrossed ako nito. I gobbled this novel in two chunks.
@ laila hi!
We can pluck out the details of the ads part, the story will not alter. But for me sub stories and side informations are a welcome. It makes great topic at dinner talks haha...wait till you get to the part where Steve Kemp went back to the Trenton house am sure youre gonna get upset.
