Gerald's Game

Hey just started Gerald's Game and I think it's an interesting idea, hope it will turn out to be awesome (obviously, I just ran through your comments without reading anything revealing about the book, not wanting to take away any of the fun)...

Don't know if they were supposed to be published together but there is a connection between the two.

I absolutely loved this book! I can remember reading it and can still vividly remember certain parts and they still make me cringe! Fantastic story but I don't want to give anything away!

Finished re-reading this meer hours ago and I noticed something interesting. I wasn't sure if my suspicion was right, so I looked it up. It's obvious King connected Dolores and Gerald's, but there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from another story. When Jessie she's offered the chance to talk to another woman who works at the same place, Laurel Stevenson, whom Jessie briefly met.

That's the same Laurel from the Langoliers!

Did you notice her molestation as a child was set on Little Tall during the eclipse?

I read this when it first came out(ought to get it off the book-shelf and give it another go, one of these days).

It always seemed to me that the way Mr. King described the head-board of the bed, and the amount of room the hand-cuffs afforded Jessie, that(even though the bed was supposed to be quite heavy)she could have flipped over, and pushed her feet off of the wall to move the bed forward, giving herself better leverage and room to work with.

karend3, I'm pretty sure that Jessie, who was on Dark Score lake, was actually connecting psychicaly to Selena St. George, who was several hundred miles away on Little Tall.

Sheila i agree about the psychic connection but cant really understand how flipping over and pushing of the wall would work.
I understand it could happen once but she would need to move the bed more than once and when its no longer against the wall she wouldnt be able to gain any leverage off it.

I have just finished this book and I was completely blown away.. one of my favorite King novels so far..

The primary narrative tells the story of a woman handcuffed to a bed in a secluded location, while the novels also explores this character's repressed sexual memories and unhappy marriage.

This is a psychological mind bender as you follow the character along her tortourous journey, cringing and feeling just as helpless as she is.

I started reading this and could not put it down.. a recommend this book to everyone..
