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.
A Monsters call
the book and the movie were beautiful but never will I ever again read or watch it. It tore me apart and never put me back together again. I don’t think I’ve ever cried so hard in both a book or a movie. Let alone a movie that is the book lol I don’t even know why I put myself though the movie after what the book did to me. I think at the time the book was getting such high praise and even though I knew it would be emotional I thought that I could handle it and wanted to test that. I failed miserably on the floor.
