For me it was Gerald’s Game by Stephen King. I think it’s a fantastic novel with amazing character development. The main character is extremely realistic and well written. Despite the seemingly silly premise, I was invested throughout the entire thing. The main character’s development is really what sells it for me.
That being said, I am absolutely not reading it again anytime soon. There are two scenes in particular(if you’ve the book I’m sure you know) that managed to make extremely uncomfortable, mortified, and disgusted. My biggest fear is being trapped and helpless, so this book really got to me. Fantastic book, I’m never picking it up again.
Either that or Lord of the Flies… Dear God.
Wait, do you guys read a book twice? Just kidding, i read the catcher in the rye 5 times, i guess that’s the one i won’t read it again, it doesn’t appeal to me anymore like it used to when i had 14 yo, even tho i have a tattoo of it
Interesting. I must be a sorta freak. I didn’t really like it when I read in high school when about 14. I didn’t relate to HC at all. But then I had to teach it as an adult, as a high school English teacher. And I loved it!
