The #1 New York Times bestselling tale of terror from master storyteller Stephen King about a famous novelist held hostage in a remote location by his "number one fan".

Bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon thinks he's finally free of Misery Chastain. In a controversial career move, he's just killed off the popular protagonist of his beloved romance series in favor of expanding his creative horizons. But such a change doesn't come without consequences. After a near-fatal car accident in rural Colorado leaves his body broken, Paul finds himself at the mercy of the terrifying rescuer who's nursing him back to health--his self-proclaimed number one fan, Annie Wilkes. Annie is very upset over what Paul did to Misery and demands that he find a way to bring her back by writing a new novel--his best yet, and one that's all for her. After all, Paul has all the time in the world to do so as a prisoner in her isolated house...and Annie has some very persuasive and violent methods to get exactly what she wants...

It's ok

It's an ok read. BUT I gotta say this is one time the movie was better. The book jumped around too much. It was hard to stay interested in it. I can NOT recommend this book.

So good! One of the best!

Stephen King is one of my favorite authors. I've read several of his works, and I've loved most of them. This one is definitely in my top 5 ! You'll be in misery if you neglect to read this book!

Great movie - the book is just okay

You know how when you order a seafood bucket full of good stuff and then they fill the excess space with clams or something less appealing? This book is full of clams. The book could have been cut in half had it not had all the excess, and I would have adored the book. I thought to myself... Can we PLEASE stop talking about the freaking pilings? I found myself skipping over paragraphs and, in some cases, entire pages just to get back to the meat of the story. And thank goodness I read this on my Kindle because I was constantly looking up words I'd never heard before and Kindle does that for me. It made for a very long read.

Very Good

I have put this one off for decades, but finally decided to read it and consider it one of his finest books.
