Gerald S Game Kirkus Reviews

I experienced my first Stephen King.

. Viking 235 352pp ISBN 978-0-670-84650-4. Much of the book was not scary at all but parts were especially gruesome and gory. Who hasnt heard a noise.

Partly this was because. Geralds Game by Stephen King Goodreads Author 355 Rating details 147192 ratings 4946 reviews Stephen King cranks up the suspense in a different kind of bedtime story. 02162016 first published May 1992 Gallery Books.

Though I am not claiming that Geralds Game is his most well-written book I can confidently say that it was his most terrifying read. Review by Geralds Game is a novel by the master of Horror Stephen King. This is the first Stephen King book please notice that I wrote book and not story I have read that.

When Gerald continues the charade acting as if Jessies objections are part of the game she fights back. Flanagan hits all those beats on cue. Its hard to think of an unfilmable Stephen King story with a higher degree of difficulty than Geralds Game.

Jessie Burlingame 39 is getting plenty tired of being handcuffed to the bed of her Maine summerhouse by her attorney-husband Gerald so that he can play his silly sex. Not only is it considered one of Kings lesser works but it takes place almost entirely in inner monologue and memory with its only major character handcuffed to a bed. This isnt a particularly long book but to keep the audience.

While this is one of the best-written stories King has ever published it will offend many through sheer bad. A lot of the terror was psychological. Gerald has a heart attack and falls from the bed.

The unfortunate chained woman is Jessie Carla. Geralds game was a book I consciously avoided as a teenager even going as far as returning it back to the library unread. As a book Geralds Game is alternately disturbing grotesque and absurd.

The original 1992 novel is a radical variation on erotic. Geralds Game did not disappoint. Jessie and Gerald Burlingame have set off to their secluded summer home for a romantic getaway.
