4.5

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.
