Gerald's Game

[amassey]

Is anyone familiar with "Gerald's Game"? I have the book, and, myself, have never seen it mentioned in his works - definately not as a movie. The story took place across the lake from Dolores Claiborne's story on the 4th of July, the two are somehow interconnected. I believe it is an excellent example of King's imagination, however I haven't read or seen any type of reviews on the story.

[TriggerHappy]

It's a great book, especially if you're a girl. The connection with Dolores Claiborne is pretty thin, though - you don't have to read one to appreciate the other.
Having said that, GG is probably the least popular of Sai King's books among his fans. I've heard many people complain that it's boring and uneventful. Dunno, personally I enjoyed it immensely.
Hope it helps

There are several threads about Gerald's Game in the board, so I'm not sure what you mean by "haven't read or seen any type of reviews". It is an excellent books and is tightly connected to Dolores Claiborn is the same manner that The Stand is connected with the DT series or Salem's Lot is connected with Wolves of the Calla.

A great book indeed. It kept me on the edge from start to finish.

let me put it this way, stephen is slowly robbing me of anything i wanted to do. I read cell and didnt use my mobile(cell) for three weeks. and i certainly am not going to be handcuffed. hmm no thanks. Good book. great imagination.

After many years of swearing I would never touch that book again, I find myself rereading it. It was a good book, just a little too real for my tastes, ya know, being a woman and all. I'm giving it another shot, tho, to see if it creeps me out as bad as before.

I can't understand how people think it's boring. It is my favorite of all his works, not that I've read them all. It's actually my favorite book.

And it is still creeping me out. I got to the part about the dog and I have to admit, even whilest the dog was doing what the dog was doing I STILL felt sorry for it.....this book is so hard to read!

[marynannie]

I have and I literally screamed aloud at parts. Excellent book but not made into a movie yet to my knowledge. It should be however they would have to edit the best parts. The books are always better.

[Jack Roman]

They probably meant New York Times or something like that.

It seems to me that people either loved or hated this book. I loved it!! I never heard someone say they liked it, but not that much.:oh:

[linkinjen2001]

I also loved this book. it's definitely one of my favorite king books. it always puzzles me that many of his fans say it's their least favorite!

[jackson992]

I'm also surprised there are people that hate it. What are the reasons?

[TBlack]

The only one of Unca Steve's that I never finished!
Never made it past the abused woman in chapter 1 or 2 actually.
My wife stole it & said, "That's not really what it's about... Great Book, ya oughta finish it!"
I don't wanna! Ya creeped me out Stephen!

[Girl87]

Geralds Game was great book. Well it took me a month to finished it but I liked it. If I remember right the end was even littlebit creepy.

Gerald's Game is a super creepy book.
It's a good book and I finished it but I don't think I'll ever read it again. The whole time I read it, it made me feel uncomfortable like my socks were too tight or something.
It was a story Alfred Hitchcock would have probably fallen all over himself to get his hands on I'll bet.

[jcasey]

This was probably one of my favorite SK books! Kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. With most of his books Im generally double swallowing to keep my gag reflex at bay. Just one of the reasons I love him.

I really enjoyed Gerald's Game . . .I could feel everything that was going on. To be honest, out of all of Stephens works nothing scared me like that guy, The Space Cowboy was standing in the corner.

[destinymcdonnell]

i have to agree with you it is my fav of everything I have ever read.

[destinymcdonnell]

it needs to be made into a movie The only reason anyone would hate this book is because he or she enjoys that kind of play, it was to real for them, or they did not read the whole thing because it just gets better and better.
