Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
Yes
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
I had read Pet Sematary already, and some characters in Cujo were similar. They slowly grew to their own individuals but there was certainly some overlap and lack of individuality. There were a lot more characters than I was expecting in this story, and I did have trouble remembering who was who for the first several pages. I did enjoy the story and reading it. I wouldn't read it again without a good reason, but I would recommend to someone who enjoys horror and fear. A content warning that is not in the list that I would include for this book is forcibly trapped. This can invoke some intense fear.
