Misery

by Stephen King

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Blurb:

Paul Sheldon is a bestselling novelist who has finally met his number one fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes, and she is more than a rabid reader—she is Paul’s nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also furious that the author has killed off her favorite character in his latest book. Annie becomes his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house.

Annie wants Paul to write a book that brings Misery back to life—just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an axe. And if they don’t work, she can get really nasty.

Review:

I have such a weird relationship with Stephen King's books. While I almost always enjoy the story, I almost always find it way to dragged out.

Misery definitely fits both categories. I love Annie as the villain. She's well written, creepy and insane af. The storyline is deliciously creepy with the perfect amount gore to keep you scared and hooked. Once again King has created this insane character that is able to get under your skin and disturb you in the best ways possible.

Aside from the parts that dragged this was a dam good book. It's a great choice for the scary season. While not my favorite it's definitely up there with the best King novels.
