I know a lot of people don't like this one (I see somebody gave it a 2 already), but this is one of my favorites. A great book!
I gave it a 4 because, while there were elements of Cujo I wasn't so interested in - I think the narrative and also the side story (the Dad's marketing campaign) was very good and something that I really enjoy as King's trademark.
I liked it, but didn't love it. It got a 4 from me. Another one that I haven't been itching to re-read, though I do remember it being pretty scary to me when I read it.

I know my books I'll be giving a 5 to already. Other than that though, I think I'll be giving most a 4 because I can't read a book I don't enjoy and there's been merit (however small in some cases) in every King story I've read.
Just a 3 for me.
I heard this was his worst book ever so I've never read it.

Fuck no, it's better than Pet Sematary and Cell...so it ain't that bad
I don't even own it. Maybe I should just add it to the books to buy list.
or not.

It actually took several repeated attempts for me to make it through the entire book. It just slogged along for me.

This one only gets a 3 from me, it is not one of my favorites. It was a good read but
it just doesn't rank high on my list of favs.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
I pretty much feel the way alinda does about this one. Good, but not great. A definite 3 for me.

Wow, I feel so lonely being the only person to give this gem a 5...
trust me, Pablo you ain't
I thought this one was ok but not a great novel so I gave it a 3.
This was my first ever Stephen King book. It was good enough to keep me reading King, but not my favorite. I gave it a 3. I should probably re-read it now that I'm older.
I'm in the same boat as you. It's one of the few books by King that I don't own. I'll eventually get around to reading it one day, but it's probably at the bottom of my to read King books.
or not.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
A nasty little book. Reads like a Bachman.
i have only read this book once yet i remember every second of it.Spoiler:now that is a story!
When King got into Cujo's head, I thought it was brilliant! I loved that dog. He turned into a monster, but I loved him.
I gave it a 5. I'd rank quite a few King works under this one.

Spoiler:
Haven't read it yet, don't own it, haven't even seen the movie. Someday...
As those who have never read certain books (despite how long ago they may have been published) have been requested by the Directors to come into these threads and vote as such, shouldn't major spoilers be marked? (For instance, the ending of CUJO spoiler in the post above this one.) Thanks.

Yes, I think so...although I can't fix it myself in here.
Now Patrick you've got some reading to do. This is at least the second early King book that I've seen you haven't read yet, this morning. I am very disappointed.
