Usually, Stephen King has a really nice set up and a bad ending, but this time around, Cujo has the reverse problem. A good two thirds of the book is spent on developing characters and subplots that are either super boring or super unlikeable.

The anti-vaxer hillbillies who go on vacation and leave Cujo behind? I didn't need the subplot of their vacation.

The ad-man and the cereal campaign? Less than zero fucks given.

The wife who cheats on the ad man with a junkie? Her annoying kid? Yes, they're important to the story, but I was rooting for the dog.

The rabid dog was the only character I felt any kind of sympathy for. The only one I could empathize. The three stars are for him. The entire thing is so idiotic and contrived it's actually a little disappointing he didn't kill more people...
