What is everybody saying?

• When you're confronted with a rabid St. Bernard
  who may or may not be a reincarnated mass
  murderer returned to terrorize a Maine village,
  you can be pretty sure you're in the world of
  Stephen King. Fueled by a grisly imagination, the
  author aims to further gross out his fans with
  description after horrific description and with
  unrelenting

• details of a sinister, brutal force run amok.
  While not quite up to King's own past standards
  of spellbinding scare tactics--the psychic
  mysteries here aren't pumped up to their full
  potential--the novel still runs its course
  effectively and efficiently in characteristic
  King style. JB.
• Cujo is so well-paced and scary that people
  tend to read it quickly, so they mostly remember
  the scene of the mother and son trapped in the
  hot Pinto and threatened by the rabid Cujo,
  forgetting the multifaceted story in which that
  scene is embedded. This is definitely a novel
  that rewards re-reading.

• When you read it again, you can pay more
  attention to the theme of country folk vs. city
  folk the parallel marriage conflicts of the
  Cambers vs. the Trentons the poignancy of the
  amiable St. Bernard (yes, the breed choice is
  just right) infected by a brain-destroying virus
  that makes it into a monster and the way the
  "daylight burial" of the failed ad campaign is
  reflected in the sunlit Pinto that becomes a
  coffin. And how significant it is that this
  horror tale is not supernatural it's as real as
  junk food, a failing marriage, a broken-down car,
  or a fatal virus
