Misery by Stephen King

5.0

The King of horror (no pun intended) hit the jackpot with this book. Such a fantastic, thrilling, terrifying, gripping and heart palpitating read!

First of all, the thought that has went into this book is phenomenal. He has wrote a book that contains him writing another book. Two books in one. This novel Misery, and in this book it contains another book or "manuscript" as Paul Sheldon like to call it, named "Misery's Return".

I love the added disclaimer about "Novril" at the beginning of the book too!

Annie Wilkes what can I say, other than Bat...S***... Crazy?

I've literally been hooked on this book from start to finish. I kept telling myself just one more chapter. The suspense was crazy, especially the part where he gets out the room for the first time! I couldn't keep up with my reading I was so on edge, it was fantastic!

It is much, much darker than the movie. I mean the rat blood licking? Eww... Not to mention the axe and and the little fire to "rinse" the foot amputation. Amongst other things i.e. lawnmowers!!!

This book was exceptionally written, I wouldn't expect less from Mr King.

Highly Highly Highly Recommend this

I rate this 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
