Gerald's Game by Stephen King
3.0

OK. I wanted to like Gerald's Game, but two things stopped me:

1) It's a short story premise stretched out to novel length. Sometimes King succeeds at this, but sometimes it's just painfully slow.

2) (And you may not consider this a con, but it took me by surprise and made me stop reading.) There is a scene where the heroine attempts to escape her prison by... I can't even write it out. The scene actually made me pass out for a few minutes. I'm very squeamish, and it's so vivid, it did me in. I'm not proud of it, but them's the facts.

So, I didn't finish it. Maybe you can.
