Psychological horror at its best
I had to text the entire time, and fast forward through bits because it is terrifying at points on so many levels.

Gerald and his wife attempt to reignite their marriage by going to a secluded location to play sex games. Unfortunately he leaves her handcuffed while having a heart attack. In between, there are deep psychological traumas and hallucinations, gore, and you wonder what's real as she continues to run out of time.

It's pure Stephen King, mixing real emotions with the downright frightening. That last scene would never have happened but my heart is still racing.

Exceptional
I'm a super fan of Stephen King, but this is a force to be reckoned with.
The characters are so well written, that you empathise and feel the fear with them.
There's so many different characters and sub stories within the novel that you never see in any adaptation.
It's a really long book, and it did take me a while to really get engrossed in it, but it's so worth it.
It's marvellous, greatest book I've ever read, it's a real treat. I did have to read it with the light on.
