Gerald's Game

By: Stephen King

Narrated by: Lindsay Crouse

A game. A husband and wife game. Gerald's Game. But this time Jesse didn't want to play.

Lying there, spread-eagled and handcuffed to the bedstead while he'd loomed and drooled over her, she'd felt angry and humiliated. So she'd kicked out hard. Aimed to hit him where it hurt. He wasn't meant to die, leaving Jesse alone and helpless in a lakeside holiday cabin.

Miles from anywhere. No one to hear her screams. Alone. Except for the voices in her head that had begun to chatter and argue and sneer....

Boring

A woman chained onto her bed and having conversation with herself, despite these monologues being about her past lives? Ok, I buy that at the beginning but when it dragged on and on and on, it became so boring and such a drag. I think I’m going to give up now (I’m maybe at 40% of the way)

Horrific and thought provoking

It was one hell of a ride but the weird sound effects and musical interludes were very off putting. Almost like the chime to to turn the page in a read along session
