Misery

"I loved it! Creepy, psychotic horror right up my alley. This was excellent because it is fiction but could and possibly has happened in the real world. This was a suspenseful page turner and definitely recommend. Watched the movie after reading. Book truly is much better. This book has quite a bit more gore and goes into more detail with mental illness. "

"This is definitely one of the more pushed-aside books by Steven King. It has an eerie and suspenseful plot, and the way it is written makes you feel like you are really inside the main characters mind. There are some gory scenes, but nothing I couldn’t handle. Loved the detail and especially the character of Annie Wilkes."

"When i began to read Misery i couldn’t fully get into it and it felt a little slow. But man am i happy i kept with it!! Stephen King is a literary master who can paint the wildest images in your mind as you read his work. Haunting, suspenseful, and gory. This novel is definitely worth a read if you’re into horror!! "

"Well I am of the minority of people who do not much care for Stephen Kings books. He is an amazing writer yes and has inspired countless others to be sure. King's works are just not in my normal wheelhouse. Yet I find myself snatching another and another off the shelf during the fall months. Something about them is horribly enticing. They make me uncomfortable and wary, pretty much the perfect mixture for spooktober.<br/><br/>So if I am not a fan of King's why the 4 stars? This is the first book I have thoroughly enjoyed. I'm unsure why this is the first but hopefully not the last. Maybe because of it's relatablity. Why do celebrities not post their home addresses or whereabouts. For this very reason. Of course there are normal and respectful fans but then there are the others. The ones who cannot differentiate between reality and fiction. A slight to a character is a slight to the reader. "How dare you!"<br/><br/>King is able to project so much rage from his words that it honestly makes me want to cover my ears and shut my eyes. Funnily enough the word Cock-a-doody freaks me out to the point where I think Annie will pop up from behind the couch if I say it. The writing process intrigued me as well. I feel like King puts so much of himself into these stories so that maybe some of the concepts are of his own personal experiences like "The gotta"."

"this book got me out of my reading slump of 6 months. the first Stephen King book I've read and I really enjoyed it"

"Genius. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of this vibe of a character being alone a lot because I love getting into a bunch of character, but this was done incredibly."

"Just finished this, and it was AMAZING! never felt so much thrill and anxiety in a novel before, I definitely recommend. This is my first Stephen King book, and it was perfect for anyone who likes slasher horror but not paranormal."

"Had to put it down...could not put it down"

"This is the first Stephen King book I have read. I enjoy it. It really gets you into the mind of the characters. "

"Excellent "
