What a terrifying and gruesome story!
Misery is about an author named Paul Sheldon who had an accident after he finished writing his latest novel and later was rescued/held captive by his number one fan named Annie Wilkes on her remote house.
I like this a lot and one thing that I have to say is that I was freaking out the whole time when I was reading this book. The psychological horror in this is so strong. I kept on rooting for Paul and I feel so bad for his character especially because of the torture and trauma he had experienced. Annie's character is so terrifying and she's all around crazy. Although, the story takes place in the same setting the entire time, I was still intrigued and I wasn't bored by it.
The reason why I'm not giving it full 5 stars is because I was struggling with Stephen King's writing at the very first part of the book and I didn't care that much about the “Misery” chapters, but aside from that I have no other complaints.
It was fun but a little boring at times and I didn't really care about the worms.
This book is so sad and dark. I picked this up thinking that this is another mystery thriller book but its actually more focused on the main character's love for her sister. This didn't quite work for me because I've expected different things from it. However, I still think that this is a good book. The writing style is beautifully written and the idea of telling the story from the perspective of the main character and a podcast is very unique. The audiobook is also phenomenal and its highly recommended. My only issue from this book is the ambiguous ending, but its just a personal preference. Overall, I still enjoyed it but I'm not blown away by the story.
I enjoyed it for the most part but I expected more from it.
