A review by mirabecker
Misery by Stephen King

5.0

Fuck, this was good. Like, I was gasping out loud, whispering "no no no no no" under my breath, suppressing screams when I had to stop during cliffhangers, pausing packing to sit down on my floor while listening because it was just that intense. I sped through the last 4 hours or so of the audiobook because I just had to know what happened next - I gotta. This was the most classic horror I've read from Stephen King (aside from Salems Lot, I guess), and god it was so good. Annie is fucking insane, but interestingly insane, with her strange sayings and moods and unpredictability. And, as an added bonus, it's fun to watch King write about what it's like to be an author. He has really interesting themes and motifs throughout the book in addition to the horror.

TL;DR: read it read it read it. But be prepared for true classic horror.
