The story is very frightening, the thing I found disturbing was, unlike some of Stephen King's stories such as Firestarter or IT, this sort of situation could possibly occur in real life.
Seriously, after reading this, whether you are male or female, you will be put off bondage / sex games for life!
I feel the story flowed very well generally, however I'm not sure about the serial killer / person with jewellery bag part of the story, this just seemed like a random addition in my opinion and didn't really need to be in the story? But that's just my opinion.
You can pick this book up second hand for literally pennies, so it's definitely worth adding to your book collection.
Hopefully, they may make a film of this story one day!

this is a awesome book to read if you like Stephen King. Once you start reading you don't want to put down until done.

Gerald"s Game" is not tame
Keeps you wondering from the beginning if the woman in the book is ready to "give it all up" and you feel every emotion of her plight. This books truly makes you feel every hallucination and then the surprise at the end that one of the hallucinations was not one at all. True to Stephen King, all things truly "feel so very real" and could be unsettling. Not for the faint of heart to read.

Scary Stuff
Great story that starts out realistically and ends with the usual Stephen King supernatural, super evil twist. I could not put this book down. Definitely one of Stephen King's better reads.
