Loved it!!!
I would recommend reading it while playing an audiobook in the background. It brought the story to life and made the characters livelier. PS: Mercutio is a witty king.

Misery is the first thriller and novel that I have ever read from Stephen King.
I honestly don’t know how to feel about this book because sometimes I couldn’t put it down and other times, I really struggled to get through.
I think I would have preferred to have an omniscient narrator and not Paul’s POV all the time…

I liked the topics and the concept of having short chapters in this book, making it a quick, easy read. 
Unfortunately, there were no plot twists and I expected a different ending.
