Why read it?
1 author picked Gerald's Game as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This one has some mature images that aren’t for everybody–you’ve been warned! Nearly all of this book takes place in a single room where the main character is cuffed to a bedframe.
This should have been boring–she can’t even move–but I found it a great psychological thriller with a believable setup and a genuine problem to be addressed.
From Michelle's list on books where character death really means something.
