Misery by Stephen King
dark
reflective
tense
fast-paced
- Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
4.0
Not too bad, heck, I'd say it's pretty darn good.
Of course, most of King's books are written well, and the characters have lots of depth. The story never felt like it was dragging, and any slow bits were purposeful. Even though you hate Annie, you also kind of love her.
My one and only qualm was the use of the N word. It was super out of place, and said by a character who hates swearing more than she hates murder. So why is she saying slurs? Seemed a bit weird. Like he put it in just cause he could.
