Personally, I feel that Gerald's Game is not one of Stephen King's best novels, since it does not have many aspects of a book of fantasy fiction. It's more like a book of exaggerated fiction. Even though this does not seem to be his best genre, Stephen King makes due.
The book Gerald's Game is about a woman named Jesse Burlingame whose husband, Gerald, handcuffed her to the bed to act out a sexual game. When Jesse started to get cold feet halfway through the game, and tells Gerald to stop, he refuses. She ends up defending herself on the bed by kicking him in a vital are, killing him. Now, she has to find a way to escape her comfy prison before she dies of starvation, or dehydration. Through the night, she has two visitors that scare her into thinking about her past, and a traumatic experience that befelled her when she was a little girl.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good suspense novel, because the throughout the book, Jesse is fighting for her life, and fighting to keep her sanity.

Ms. Shah said this book counts as two books.
