    About this audiobook

    The #1 New York Times bestseller, Cujo “hits the jugular” (The New York Times) with the story of a friendly Saint Bernard that is bitten by a bat. Get ready to meet the most hideous menace ever to terrorize the town of Castle Rock, Maine.

    Outside a peaceful town in central Maine, a monster is waiting. Cujo is a two-hundred-pound Saint Bernard, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had. One day, Cujo chases a rabbit into a cave inhabited by sick bats and emerges as something new altogether.

    Meanwhile, Vic and Donna Trenton, and their young son Tad, move to Maine. They are seeking peace and quiet, but life in this small town is not what it seems. As Tad tries to fend off the terror that comes to him at night from his bedroom closet, and as Vic and Donna face their own nightmare of a marriage on the rocks, there is no way they can know that a monster, infinitely sinister, waits in the daylight.

    What happens to Cujo, how he becomes a horrifying vortex inescapably drawing in all the people around him, makes for one of the most heart-stopping novels Stephen King has ever written. “A genuine page-turner that grabs you and holds you and won’t let go” (Chattanooga Times), Cujo will forever change how you view man’s best friend.

      Drags in a few places, but the underlying story is intense and disturbing. Classic Stephen King.

    • 2/5
      This narrator's voice for the boy was horrific and grating! Felt a great need to spank his butt. Was an unneeded distraction from an otherwise decent story. Not my favorite King book. Would have been much better with Will Patton as the narrator!
    • 5/5
      Gripping and intense. This book was better than the movie!
    • 5/5
      Excellent listen. King’s words with Ms. Lorna Raver’s voice is a combination of perfection.
    • 5/5
      Love this book so much, I’ve listen to it more then once!
    • 5/5
      Far better than a one line summary could ever indicate (killer dog terrorizes young family)

      This book is really excellent, and lean. Everything is interesting, and he draws great characters that you really get to know. Highly recommended for King fans or novices.

      Lorna Raver does a bang up job narrating, and your jaw and heart will be on the floor by the end.
    • 4/5
      very sad but good book. Kids and pets are the saddest
    • 5/5
      Just a collection of awful and mostly innocent coincidences leading to the main and never-ending horror event. Had me gripped, again. Love the detailed story-telling that builds believable characters which, in turn, builds the stories we 100% believe as we're reading them. The slow burn that makes us tender.
      Not so keen on this narrator for some reason. Nothing wrong with it; I think it was just the Roger voice that did it.
    • 5/5
      Great writing one of his best he's ever written !!
    • 5/5
      A story with no real winner, but a must read
    • 3/5
      Not the best from Stephen Kind, but still good. The intensity of it at the end was nerve-wrecking.

      I enjoyed how each character had a voice and you would get to see their development as the book goes on

      2.5/5
    • 3/5
      A story I've always wanted to get into, it may have long stretches where it feels like not much is happening, but when it hits you, it hits hard.
    • 4/5
      I am a dog with rabies so this really hit the spot

      This book sucked. I now hate Zingers, a treat I previously enjoyed. Above all else, I strongly dislike (nice way of saying hate) Lorna Raver's work here. Way too over the top for my taste. Maybe I've done this book a disservice by reading it directly after Pet Sematary, which was an excellent read with sensational narration by Michael C. Hall. Do yourselves a favor; pass this one up. King himself doesn't remember this one much, hopefully soon I'll forget having read it.
    • 4/5
      The book is good, very heavy but good. A real sense of dread and hopelessness pervades throughout the whole story.
      My only complaint was the narration was a little grating, especially when it came to the little boys voice. But that's preference for ya.

      Very new to Stephen King works, and was disappointed in this one. Not much of a horror at all, just a sick dog. Had really hoped for some sort of possession. The narrator is pretty good, but the voice she does for the little boy “Tad” is horrendous.
