"It ain't the blows we're dealt that matter, but the ones we survive."A single drop of blood causes Rose McClendon to come to the realisation that her husband might actually kill her. So she ups and leaves him, setting off to a new city...I always get really excited for the King novels where the main protagonist is a female as I've a pretty good track record with them - Lisey's Story, Dolores Claiborne, Gerald's Game etc. I'm pretty sure these were all 5 star reads for me! So I had highThe 31st book in my long-term Stephen King reading project and the first one I had never read before. Considering common opinion (including King's own) and my friends views, I enjoyed more than I thought I would. However, it's far from without issues. For a long time I had a vague idea about men like Rose's husband. I imagined that somewhere along the way something went wrong and what causes the rest of us to behave like human beings was lost in them. The abundance of them made me refine my
Now I remember why I didn't like this the first time I read it. It wears out its welcome a good 60 pages before the end. We get our denouement, and then we're made to wade through a goodly chunk of book before we can call it done. Still, Rose Madder is okay. I think what keeps this book pretty middle of the road for me is Norman Daniels, our cliched villain. King has three types of male antagonists: women beaters, child molesters, and racists. Norman Daniels suffers from the former and the

This one is without doubt an old school Stephen King. There is suspense and horrific things happen to people, there are dreamlike sequences and monsters both human and not. *Trigger warning* violent and sexual domestic abuse. Miscarriage of a baby due to this is described in the opening few chapters and it was tough going.There are times of threat and pursuit which I found very scary and the imagery the author uses to add to the terror is excellent. Stephen King tells a bloody good story and his
My book club read this book last month. This is how book club went basically: Joy: Colleen, what was your favorite part of this book?Me: Well, Joy, I'll get to that in a few, but would anyone like some chocolate? (Passes around a bowl of chocolate until they are all staring at me expectantly. Reluctantly continues.) You know, Joy, Stephen King never disappoints. Every time I turned the page, there were more words that formed sentences. The kind of sentences that make up all of Stephen King's
Opening with one of the most vivid scenes of violence I have ever read, Rose Madder tells the compelling tale of Rosie Daniels as she makes the decision to, and subsequently, leaves her vicious husband, Norman.Admittedly, I had tried to read this book on two prior occasions and just couldn't make it past that first scene. It is so harsh and was mentally exhausting for me. I would put it down and then just avoid it.This doesn't mean I thought it was bad. I knew if I kept going, I would enjoy the
