This was my first Stephen King book, and it made me a lifetime fan. This book was so suspenseful that I was glued to it. I started reading it in study hall during my senior year and study hall quickly became “Misery” time. I LOVE this book. The antagonist is so twisted, this book will have you cringing in your seat. And the protagonist will have your heart racing and yelling “GO GO GO!”
