In my Top Ten Favorites by Stephen King, lies this book, Rose Madder. King depicts the struggle of abused women quite well in this book. Having know a few, I have seen in them what King depicts in Rose, the lead female in this book. Most of the book flashes between two perspectives: Rose in her new life, and Norman, her husband, on her trail (he is a cop after all!). I sometimes found it hard to get through parts of Norman's view, not because it was done poorly, but because it was done so well. King made Norman a hateful, racist, wife beating loser, and made him well. While reading his thoughts through out the book, I often became enraged, hoping Norman would get his in the end. It just goes to show the power King often yields! Good writting is not just about a good plot, it's also about making your readers really feel for the people and events. Rose's story will definately make you feel something and I recommend it for anyone who is looking for an emotional ride.Read full review
I had read this book years ago, and I would think of it time and again. Remembering how she went into that picture and how that fascinated me. So I decided to buy it and read it again. It was just as good this time, and I think I will keep the book to read again.
