Is this even a poll? Pet Sematary, no question

Hi there! - I have not read Pet Semetary in a while, so it must be time for a reread.

My first inclination was to go for "Christine" - plus they did a very good adaptation of it in movie format.

The books are all good, so it's hard to decide.

I never got to read cujo and never will. Especialy after I heard King was so drunk, he doesn't even remember having writen it.
Even drunk he still managed to write a good book!
:haha: How's the weather in Portugal? Here it is minus 12 Celsius :friendly_wink: and with the wind chill it is:onthego: minus 14 C :snowman:

Cujo is a fabulous book. I couldn't give two cents (I have a more scatological word in mind, but I thought I'd be nice--lol) for Mr. King's personal life. Cujo is a fully formed, well written story, with great dialogue, strong characters, and the most heartbreaking (and wholly believable) ending I've ever read to any book. It's your choice whether to read it, of course, but you're cheating yourself if you don't.

I don't know, it's just the thought of imagining him writing the story, all drunk and miserable, while I'm reading it and enjoying it... It's hard to explain but I think you'll understand why I said it.

Neesy, it's 10 celsius. Where I live - in the northwest, we get pretty mild winters, due to the sea curents ;). They never go negative celsius.

Obrigado! - I have a friend who taught me a couple of words, but I forgot most of it - enjoy your mild weather - sounds nice :watermelon:
