King is known for his books filled with cruelty and hateful characters, completed with detailed bloody scenes and tense scenes that will keep you on the edge of your seat while reading. Misery is not the exception but the rule, and i couldn't love it more for it.
 If you were trying to get into King's works but couldn't decide on which first, this is the option i'd recommend; Classic among his works, loved by fans, and pretty short. Perfect for a starting point.

This is my first Stephen King book and it really had me hooked. He, of course, knows what he's doing! His writing style makes you turn page after page. 
Although I found the pacing to be a little too slow in the beginning, I was looking forward to reading the book and couldn't put it down at times. At certain parts I even had to put the book down because I was so shocked. 
I wouldn't say it's scary, but it definitely makes you feel uneasy.
