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 thousand splendid suns by Khaled Hosseini The story is kind of sad though. Because afganistan people struggle to live there as citizens in the late 80s. Because the war took place around that time. The protagonist is two young females trying to live with the 50 year old husband. But the plot is enjoyable for me. But I won’t want to read it again.
