About this listen

 Once upon a time, not so long ago, a monster came to the small town of Castle Rock, Maine . . . He was not a werewolf, vampire, ghoul, or unnameable creature from the enchanted forest or snow wastes; he was only a cop . . .

Cujo is a huge Saint Bernard dog, the best friend Brett Camber has ever had. Then one day Cujo chases a rabbit into a bolt-hole. Except it isn't a rabbit warren any more. It is a cave inhabited by rabid bats.

And Cujo falls sick. Very sick. And the gentle giant who once protected the family becomes a vortex of horror inexorably drawing in all the people around him . . .

Great story, told by a very gifted narrator who takes it to another level x

My favourite so far.

I just couldn’t get along with the narration. I know and love this story, but the performance was strained, more so during dramatic elements, like running out of breath but trying to finish the sentence anyway. Seemed to have more emphasis on enunciation and diction than emotion and character.

Narration spoiled it for me.

Good book, not keen on the narrator especially the voices for the children very irritating

The book is great and I managed to listen right to the end – despite the voice of the narrator. It really grated with me and, even to the end, I never got used to it. Her voice for the character, Roger, sounds like me trying to do Kermit and Fozzy bear at the same time. Also, the sickly-sweet voice of the child was difficult to listen to.

Shame, really, as the book is a classic.

Roger's voice!

Narrator tried her best to ruin one of my favourite books all I heard was Fozzy Bear from the muppets. Wacca Wacca indeed!

Fozzy Bear works with Vic?????
