Este libro lo tenía todo para ser de mis favoritos del autor, pero le faltó una cosa, o más bien, le sobró.
Hay mucho relleno!!!
Quizás por eso es que prefiero la película.
Aun así, me gustó mucho el libro y quedé conforme con el final. Y Jessie se convirtió rápidamente en uno de mis personajes favoritos de Stephen King.

I had to skip sections of this book as this the first book I've read, Stephen King or otherwise, that made me almost vomit onto my Kindle.

Gerald's Game started off...exciting enough. Jessie and Gerald have taken a trip to their secluded lake house to spice up their marriage. Unfortunately, Gerald has a heart attack leaving Jessie handcuffed to the bed. I was really drawn into the story at the beginning, but being in Jessie's head was a little overwhelming which seemed like a good thing at first but later was just too much.
The story added on a few more elements too, with unexpected visitors and possible hallucinations. I was more intrigued to see whether Jessie would figure a way out or not, and was actually creeped out enough to put down the book for a while. The ending, however, felt sort of rushed and unsatisfying. I don't know what it was about this book that sort of left me disappointed.

Amazing novel of psychological mind games and rumination of trauma, with a fantastically (although somewhat random) twist at the end.
