Gerald's Game

Written by Stephen King

Reviewed by Alan Nguyen, BCCHS student

A married couple, the Burlingames, go to their summer house for some quality time together, and the games they play become a living nightmare. Her husband dead, no way of reaching the keys that can free her, a stray dog that devours the corpse of her husband—This book chronicles a twisted time of her life that she will never forget.   

Suspenseful, gut-wrenching, and hypnotic. The tension in this book is unrelenting. I thought it was a well-written book, and the day I checked out the book, I could not put it down.
