Buying this book made me feel a bit guilty. Being a huge Stephen King fan since I was 13, and having never read this one that is about 13 years old, made me feel like, "hey, I shouldve read this already". However, I finally got around to it. Better late than never. So on to the review. The book starts off with a kick! Right away it takes you away into someone elses world. This book is not a science fiction or horror that you would almost expect from King. A strange and unexpected turn of events brings a woman/wife/widow to the brink of insanity. And rightly so. This woman, wife, and soon-to-be widow finds herself in a situation she cannot control while her husband has all the control. And literally. With one bad decision, her life is changed forever. Gerald's Game is a great read and I would recommend it to any King fan out there.Read full review
When Gerald's game goes wrong, his wife Jessie is left in a rather compromised position. As she lies trapped on the bed at their lake house, Jessie has flashbacks of another time long ago at another lake house and of the bad thing that happened to her there. King does a wonderful job with Jessie's frantic self-talk and gets us fully into her head so we can see the situation through her eyes. A good novel I found a little too short, which was my only disappointment.
This book draws you in from the very beginning. It's one you don't want to put down.

I have been a Steven King fan for years I own everyone of his books starting with the Bachman book collection. I agree this book is different than his other books but is just as good or better than many of them. It started out great.The book will grab your attention from the first page and is extremely hard to put down. I was able to escape into another world with this book where the only imaginable was transported directly into my hands. If you are a sci-fi or horror fan I suggest you read this book immediately. If you are a book lover, but not a King fan give this one a chance it may change your opinion of Steven King.
Good!
