Publisher Description

Return to the gripping, suspenseful classic #1 New York Times bestseller by master storyteller Stephen King!

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 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....

    " WHAT MOVIE?! I cannot believe I thought the movie told the entire story! The way King builds characters is simply amazing. After all of these years I expected I knew everything that happened from the movie! This book only makes me want to get MORE King books so I know I’m not missing any of the exciting details! When this book ended, I immediately started another and just bought another SK book. "

    " My second Stephen King book, and it was even better than my first! Constant suspense, I was absolutely addicted! Annie was an insanely creepy character, I loved the way she switched from sickly sweet to absolutely crazy and back again at the drop of a hat. Her little phrases were hilarious ("You bet your rooty-patooties I did" in particular made me laugh uncontrollably.) The movie is fantastic as well! "

    " Misery is definitely one of my favorite King novels so far. Be that as it may, I haven't read much of Stephen King's work so there isn't much for me to compare it to yet. Anyway, if you want a great suspense story that you could finish in under a week, purchase a copy of this novel. "

    " I read this book about twenty years ago, so maybe I am being harsh. Really, though, I find Stephen King to be wordy and boring. He likes to fancy himself such a shocking writer, I am sure, but I think he just drags on and on. "

    " Not as instantly readable as some of King's other books, but well worth the time to stick to it. Unfortunately, the made for tv movie ruined some of this book for me, so perhaps that's why it took me so long to finish. "

    " Great book, except the very end. This is something that Stephen King does quite a bit, unfortunately. He tells a great story and uses a contrivance to finish it. It doesn't mean I stop reading; it's just a bit jarring. "

    " King absolutely knows how to tell a story. I love the allegorical nature of the book, pitting good against evil. I'm not a person that loves post-apocalyptic stories, but King makes me want to love this genre. One of the best reads I've had in years. "
