A review by togidemi
Gerald's Game by Stephen King
4.0
Technically a 4.5 I'd have bumped up to a 5, but the ending dragged so we back down on 4, my guys.
Powered through the whole thing in a day and a half because it has that can't-put-it-down-because-of-all-these-goddamn-cliffhangers pacing that I adore in books. Amazing concept that makes even shit like grabbing a glass of water off a shelf an intensely suspenseful experience. The inner voices are really characters of their own as well. I had a great time until the whole post-handcuff situation started rolling, which - compared to the rest of the book before it - was boring and felt kind of aimless up until the courtroom. Yes I will be watching the movie.
