This was my first Stephen King book, I 100% recommend it if a slow beginning doesn’t deter you from wanting to read it. This book is SO good. It was quite slow at some points and I didn’t care for the long chapters in Misery’s world- but the tension and just Annie herself is done masterfully. Would read again!


Update: I changed my rating to 5/5 stars because this has definitely been my favorite read this year despite it being slow at some points. I think about this book a lot still, it’s a masterpiece! 

This is your sign to read it if you haven’t already!!!
