I'm guessing that many of you own or have owned a dog at some point in your life. And, i'm also guessing that you'd consider said dog to be loyal to you and part of your family. So, I ask you, can you possibly imagine what you'd do if your dog went rabid?
Pooch would lose his appetite. Start to become easily confused. Tired. His brain would melt and with that he'd forget about you. Forget the loyalty and love he held for you.
He'd feel intense pain.

Cujo slept.
He lay on the verge of grass by the porch, his mangled snout on his forepaws. His dreams were confused, lunatic things. It was dark, and the sky was dark with wheeling red-eyed bats. He leaped at them again and again, and each time he leaped he brought one down, teeth clamped on a leathery, twitching wing. But the bats kept biting his tender face with their sharp little rat-teeth. That was where the pain came from. That was where all the hurt came from. But he would kill them al More...

Damn this is not what everyone said it would be! I appreciate good suspense, but trust me, after 50 pages in that frickin' car, you get pretty bored.
It started out awesomely, with Cujo getting bit and going slowly rabid. He kills a few, and then I said, "Yes! Here comes the good part!" but that was the end of the good part. It became such a boring book, it was hard to get through.

Stephen King is known in the horror genre as being one of the best authors. I tend to agree with that, but sometimes the idea for the horror is very similar from book to book. It is almost always some sort of horrifying scene or monster that is all very unlikely to happen in real life, so it's easier to remember that it is just a story. Cujo was a different kind of horror and a different kind of monster. Cujo is a dog that becomes rabid and kills. Simple as that. It's real, and most definitely c

Usually, I have found that Stephen King has an unmatched gift of storytelling, as well as an educated sense of symbolizing. These qualities, however, seem absent within "Cujo," which will be remembered as the first Stephen King novel to utterly disappoint me. While novels such as "The Stand" and "Christine" provide not only firmly crafted tales, but also thoroughly explorable themes, "Cujo" provides a weak slice-of-life horror with dull narration and bland

I enjoyed Cujo more upon re-reading it than I remembered. I think that the first time that I read it, I was too young at the time to really have a solid understanding of just how screwed up the Trenton's life is becoming before their dealings with a rabid dog.
Cujo is maybe not the most action-packed King novel, I think only four people die in the entire novel. Most of the horror is derived in the tension and frustration involved in the situations that the characters are thrust into. Cu More...

I'm not really a fiction reading kind of guy, but I thought I would expand my genre-horizons. So, why not start with a book/author furthest from my normal routine, right? Everyone knows Stephen King, but other than seeing a TV commercial in the early 80's for the movie release, all I knew about Cujo was that it was about a rampaging dog. And when I finally read the book, my initial perceptions were confirmed: "A dog goes wild in a sparsely populated town." The main storyline itself w

Visceral, raw. In this 1981 novel, King reaches for the reader's jugular and never lets go. You have a cheating wife, a workaholic husband, a fearsome child who believes a monster lies waiting in his closet, a raging mad sex-fiend who vows to tear a family apart, an abusive and alcoholic husband, an emotionally and physically tortured wife, a confused little boy...and then you have Cujo, a friendly, gently, hulking St. Bernard who's been the victim of a nasty bat-bite. Before long, all of these

This is my pick for King's worst novel. That opinion is both subjective and objective.
First the subjective part. If you peruse my book list, you will have deducted that I am a big horror fan. But the horror of Cujo is maybe a bit too close to home. At the age of six I had my upper lip partially ripped off by a collie that attacked me for no reason. That would have been enough, but we were in a rural part of the country where it had to be sewn back on immediately by the emergency team.. More...

I've only read a few of Stephen King's canon, his nearly liturgical works, his compendium of horror, suspense, macabre, human suffering, pain and the supernatural. What strikes me with every book or short story though, is his ability to develop a psychotic and dangerous precedent for the inevitable mayhem which is to ensue. I realize this is just an employed literary device, and has all of the originality of a cheese sandwich, but his ability to accept that his work is strictly fiction, and ut

After reading "On Writing", I am embarking on a mission to re-read many of the Stephen King books I loved so much in college...has it really been almost 25 years? Yikes. So I started with Cujo and I have to say, it came close, but didn't quite hold up to my glowing memories. Yes it had King's trademark character-driven approach, which I love. Yes it was suspenseful and brutal and raw and terrifying on many levels. Yes, it was unpredictable and found a way to touch a nerve about the dar

Well if anyone like to read a story about how a disease can spread around like rabies or is interested in things like that, then this is the book that is right for them. This book mainly is about a family who owns a dog that has rabies. They didn't know he had rabies which is more interesting since the family didn't get him vaccinated. This book shows how a dog can become a monster after being bitten by a rabbit and catching rabies.

King’s addition to the glut of ‘nature runs amok’ novels that flooded the market in the early 1980s is a well-written, often engaging story that tells of a rabid dog and the people it kills. Of course, there’s much more than that, as King practices the technique (later perfected in the likes of NEEDFUL THINGS) of drawing together totally separate characters and families across a town, chronicling their everyday lives and routines before dropping them all into a blender and sitting back to see wh

I recall seeing the movie when I was kid just one random Saturday. The movie had me paranoid and asking my parents if the family dog, Brutus, had gotten his rabies shots. I found the book to be better than the movie (which is generally, always the case) because it gives a more indepth look at all the characters that are mentioned and makes you feel for Cujo who was truly a good dog that became ill. Since this book and movie the name 'Cujo' has picked up a negative connotation which is unfair be

Cujo is one of those random books I just picked up one day at the supermarket. And being a big Stephen King fan, I usually cannot resist grabbing his books to add to my collection. Nobody can tell a good, scary story like Stephen King.

I asked my friend what type of books he enjoys; he answered "anything I'll read" and hands me Cujo. I see Stephen King and instantly become skeptical; sci-fi/horror is not my thing. But, okay, I give it a shot. And as I'm reading the first few chapters, I go "Really? This is really lame."
Suddenly I was ravenous. I finished it pretty much cover-to-cover. King reminds me of Mary Higgins Clark; the whole suspense of it all. There's no demonic monster, arguably, no devils, no voo More...

The book is awesome. :D At first, I almost got dizzy with the abrupt changes in POVs and scenarios. It felt as if there were too many things happening at the same time. There were too many issues tackled - marriage, family life, motherhood. Eventually, all of them converged to make a very excellent story.

Lo peor y más aburrido que jamás había leído de Stephen King. Un asco.
En lugar de Cujo debería llamarse "La historia aburrida y sin chiste de dos matrimonios perdidos de antemano y cómo volverla un libro".
Cujo es solo un elemento de pasada, donde hasta una estúpida campaña publicitaria perdida tiene más importancia. ¿De qué carajos funciona eso en un libro? Si quiero ver como es eso, mejor prendo la televisión y veo uno de esos asquerosos programas que te narran casos de la v More...

I watched this movie long time ago, maybe twice or three times, but this book was somehow different from the movie and from my expectation. I should have expected it, but it was really different. I think many people know that "Cujo" is the story about a rabid dog and mother and a boy who were attacked by the dog. It is still true in the book, but there are more characters and events involved in the book. Some wicked people and a story of Frank Dodd as well as raspberry flavor cereal. At the end,

I'm a little torn on this book, to be honest. On the one hand, all of the tension between Vic's failing business and his failing marriage is almost more than I can take, but, all of the stuff about Cujo I found to be a little boring. I also found myself hating Donna little by little.

The best thing about Stephen King books is that he puts characters in scenarios other people don't in their books (a woman and child trapped in a hot car by a rabid dog outside). The worst thing about Stephen King books is that he wrote them instead of another writer. This is yet another example of his self-indulgent tendency to have people speak in ways no person actually does, including his use of dumb, made-up swear words. Hell, the book even starts with that shopworn cliche where someone

Cujo is an interesting Stephen King horror novel in that it mostly ignores all the supernatural elements that usually appear in his stories and instead concentrates on making the horror more close to home, more 'real-life', if you like. It also appears to have more in the way of meaning and symbolism than in his other novels. Some of this is well-handled, some not so much.

I first read Cujo when I was a kid. It's far better when you read it as an adult. What I find interesting about this book is that as much of 60% of it has absolutely *nothing* to do with the dog. They talk about the effect a wife's affair has on her marriage, the advertising agency field, a son's nightmares. In the background, a dog gets bitten by a rabid bat, and occasionally, you see him get sicker until finally he kills. But even then, the main focus isn't on the dog. It's not until at

This stands out to me as possibly King's most harrowing novel, though I'd still name The Shining and Salem's Lot as his scariest, but I don't think any King book left me more shaken. There are small hints of the supernatural, but in essence the horror is built out of the everyday and is caused by a lovable St Bernard dog, Cujo, becoming infected with rabies. That might sound prosaic, and the film made of this novel is mediocre and its ending a cop-out. Nor can any film put you into the head of C
