Cujo is a cruel book (warning: spoilers included)

[devious1]

so i recently re-read Cujo, and i have to say that this is a very mean, cruel book. i mean i can't say that King's protagonists always end up well at the end of his novels/stories, but all i can say is poor Vic. first, his company is on the verge of collapsing. then he finds out about his wife cheating on him in just about the worst way possible (I enjoyed ****ing the **** out of her, do you have any questions? cruel, so cruel). then that prick Kemp destroys his house, and to top it all off, he loses his son as well. it seems King must have been in a very bitter frame of mind when he wrote this book, but i guess we can't ask him since he doesn't even remember much about writing it. i mean it's still a good read, but so, so cruel.

PS: i would have included spoiler tags but i somehow can't seem to figure out how to do that. so hopefully people who have yet to read the book will mind the warning!

i hate to be picky but i'm just wondering about the language censoring here, if that's the policy here, then i will adhere to it from this point on. but considering the author who this site is dedicated to uses these words pretty freely in his novels, i just wonder why it isn't acceptable here on the site. not a complaint really, just curious, and as i said i will watch my language from now on here since this is the policy. anyway back to the topic: did anyone else see this book as being this cruel?

and just for future reference, i appreciate you adding in the spoiler tags, but how do i do it myself? i can't seem to figure it out. me dumb

We have language software that censors words. It's an open forum for anyone to read and that means that there could be children viewing the comments so we chose to have that in place.

The instructions are in the Read Me First thread.

huh? i was just curious, that's all. i just found it a little odd that language was censored on the site as King uses the same words himself often in his works. but it has been explained to me, so it's all good.

PS: ok, i admit, i am kinda picky sometimes, its just in my nature
