Rose Madder

The story of Rosie escaping her abusive husband and making friends with the battered womens centers' leaders and residents was really cool. The relationship building the story tells is a great and welcome addition to the book. Her relationship with her love interest is also a very welcoming addition. The abusive husband's tracking skills and blatant violence is so interesting to read and terrifying in knowing there are nuts like these out in the real world... It makes it real. The sheer language and violence expressed by the husband makes this book amazing. The slip comes a little after halfway through the book. The addition of the other world Rosie visits is unnecessary. I understand SK involves fantasy/horror into most of his books, but this one should have remained a story that we could actually visualize happening. A realistic telling. In true SK fashion, the ending was blah. Not horrible, but definitely not a memorable one. It lives in my mind as a 2.5/5

If you like a dose of real life, with a dose of the supernatural fantasy, then you will like this book. I'm a huge fan of Stephen King novels, and for the most part, they never dissapoint. Some parts can be confusing, especially at the end, but overall, I really enjoyed this book. Sometimes, revenge is the sweetest. But theirs always a price to pay. Ever wondered what it's like to jump in a picture? This book takes you there.

First time I read it I hated it ,then I re read it last year and it's a favorite of mine .
