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

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.

Much better than the movie.

Book is so much better than the movie. It's a must read!

A SK standard - sets the suspense bar high!

Lots better than the movie. Typical Stephen King book.

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!

Paul Sheldon. He's a bestselling novelist who has finally met his biggest 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 his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house. Now Annie wants Paul to write his greatest work--just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an ax. And if they don't work, she can get really nasty...

One of King's greatest!!

Do you like horror? Do you like Stephen King? Then hang on for one of his best novels! If you have ever considered yourself an author's #1 fan, you might soon hesitate to call yourself that again! The back of the book's tale:
"Paul Sheldon. He's a bestselling novelist who has finally met his biggest fan.

Another is an ax. And if they don't work, she can get really nasty..."

This is a classic King Novel full of twists and turns and suspense beyond belief. Nerve Wrecking and Razor keen.

A chilling story from beginning to end. One of Stephen King's best.

I wish I hadn't seen the movie first, because the book was SO much better. I love how King develops his characters. Annie Wilkes is so demented and poor Paul goes through the worst experience of his life. I read this book in 2 days - couldn't put it down!
