Misery Author: A writer is held hostage by his number-one fan in the novel that "demand[s] that we take King seriously as a writer with a deeply felt understanding of human psychology" (Publishers Weekly). His deeply felt understanding of what terrifies us doesn't hurt either.

The monster in "Misery" is human, not supernatural. A crazed fan, obsessed with her favorite author, decides to keep him all to herself.
This story involves imprisonment, physical and psychological abuse, shackles and weapons. This is not a nice lady. It gives you insight into what can happen to famous people when they are stalked by an obsessed fan.

This is my most favorite Stephen King book ever. I don't think he could have done better than with Misery

Worth every second.
All right - yes, I'm a rabid King fan. I think I have all of his books on my shelf now (and even some books about him). This one is SO good! Even the movie was great, although there were some significant changes in it that I wasn't crazy about. This is one that ties you to your chair, and you read on and on and on . . . into the dark!
Wow, this book is so much better then the movie. It got to the point I couldn't put it down. There is a little wear and tear but all in all good condition, and a great read!
