questa lettura è stata, in un certo senso, piacevole; ho trovato il racconto molto scorrevole e facile da seguire, e mi ha sicuramente tenuta attaccata alle pagine in una maniera assurda, contando i momenti carichi di suspense che ha. è un libro diverso dagli altri due si King che ho letto (The Stand e IT), e avevo il terrore che potesse non piacermi proprio perché, a differenza di quelli, ha solo due personaggi principali, e invece questa cosa non mi ha assolutamente pesato. anzi, trovo che Paul sia interessantissimo da leggere, e come sempre c'è grande attenzione al dettaglio e alla descrizione degli spazi.

Superb! This book is about a famous author named Paul who is captured by his number one fan Annie Wilkes. The relationship between Annie and Paul is abusive, and

Spoiler

Annie gets him addicted to drugs and breaks his ankles.

Annie wants Paul to write a book  to revive the main character of his romance series, and goes to extreme measures to get her way. Though, one thing I’ll say is the ending felt rushed. But overall, a fantastic book.
