The book Cujo, written by Stephen King, is about a family St. Bernard named Cujo. Cujo, a naturally nice dog, is bit by a rabid bat and which in turn leads him to become rabid. A mother and son, Donna and Tad, get trapped by Cujo when their car breaks down. The book is really intense, at certain parts more than others, and has a really interesting conflict that includes Donna having an affair. Just like any other book from King, it's a real thriller. From the first page to the last I was constantly engaged with the story. Although all the books Stephen King has written are horror novels, and all of them are exceptionally good, Cujo stands out. I don't know what about it makes the book stand out, maybe the way the story way told, being told through the eyes of Cujo's owners, the Chambers. It was also narrated by the Trentons, and even through the eyes of Cujo. Maybe what else makes Cujo stand out is the actual story. Taking a viral disease and expanding off of it making it seem way more scary than rabies really is.
