In his partial autobiographical writing "Scribner" [2000], author Stephen King admits that when he wrote Cujo, he was very addicted to alcohol [Viking; 1981]. Therefore, Stephen King's Cujo lack marks the true secularity of his best novel. Dog lovers will also be shocked by the theme of the book - a gentle Saint Bernard, turned into a cannibal monster after being bitten by a fanatic bat.
However, King's awful book is still better than most other books of horror and suspense writers, including Iris Johansen, Dean Koontz and Edgar Allan Poe. Stephen King's Cujo offers some interesting tidbits for the stubborn King fans. It is located in a fictional town, familiar to King's fans, Castle Rock, Maine, where many of the King's books are located, or the town of action in the book, as in the Under the Dome [Scribner; 2009.]
Strong character
The great figure of Kim is his core strength. Even if the situation seems completely unbelievable, the reader will keep these pages turned to find out what happens to the character. Stephen King's Cujo is no exception. There was a town madman, a troubled policeman and a young couple and a young son trying to move on after the wife admitted the affair. Even though King claims to be drunk when he wrote this book, he has some touches that make the character look more real than the real person.
Even the title character is substantial. His unusual name slightly hinted at the eccentricity of darkness. Cujo is named after a kidnapper from Patty Hearst, each of whom is called Cujo but is really called Willie Wolfe. At first, Cujo's white trash owner didn't seem to be able to logically jump after the kidnapper to name his dog, but nothing in Cujo was as it first appeared.
Problematic plot
The main drawback of this book is the plot. Anyone who raises a dog or disturbs rabies knows that no matter how hot the dog is, they won't become Cujo. Although this book sometimes implies other extraordinary powers [such as the son's constant fear of a monster in his closet], they have never achieved it. Teasing with the reader is equivalent to Stephen King's Cujo.
A large part of the book is related to the wife's affairs, sometimes to show which is the worst monster - a man with whom she is infected or Cujo. But these two plot lines will never merge, just like most other King books. This is another annoying provocation that the reader endures.
Another stumbling block is that many of the problems faced by young mothers and her sons in the showdown with Cu Jo are that this problem does not occur today in the mobile phone era. Modern readers have to remind themselves that since 1981, problems with standard air conditioners in the Internet, cars and mobile phones have not existed.
