Summary: MY LORD!
Review: I read this book a couple of years ago, and got kind of bored today so I decided to write a review on Amazon. Well, after I read this book, I remember being scared out of my wits. I finished it at 11:00 at night, in my bed, closed the book, went to bed, and started getting scared that Annie Wilkes would come and do harm to me! You might think that a book about a writer who gets into an accident and taken to an insane fan's house would be rather boring and nothing to get scared about, but King's vividness about this character goes to the extreme. She is the perfect monster - somebody who could be out there but has a demented mind. I was a BIG fan of this movie; it gave me quite a laugh watching Kathy Bates blurt out phrases like "cockadoodie" and "Mr. Man," etc., but when I read this book, I laughed none. It was absolutely frightening and the first King book I had read. I have recently become a big fan of his and plan on reading many, many more of his books. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good scare!

Summary: My Personal Favorite
Review: Misery was able to earn a five star rating on account of its ceaseless ability to pull me into the plot, making it ever so much more suspenseful and entertaining. The book really stirred up my emotions; I found myself hating the sick nurse Annie Wilkes, and my heart jumped in glee when she was finally done away with. You'll not regret reading Misery.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Convincing book about a woman by a man
Review: Famously mysterious horror about a telekinetic girl who uses her abilities to exact her wrath when the popular girls taunt her one time too many. Notable for capturing female angst about menstruation, a distinctively female problem, in a convincing female voice, though the product of a male writer. Blessed with one virtue missing from most of King's later writing: brevity.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good
Review: I read "Misery" in about a week. It wasn't a great book but a really good one. There was alot of suspense and I really started to hate Annie Wilkes. Read this book, it won't dissapoint you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Stephen King Masterpiece
Review: Talk about keeping you on the edge of your seat, Stephen King's misery is an exciting, bite your nails with every turn of the page, book. Paul Sheldon, a writer from New York City, meets his biggest fan while writing his newest novel in the town of "Sidwinder Colorado". If only he knew what he was getting himself into. If you love Stephen King books, or you just like horror stories this is the book that you will never be able to put down once you start reading. "Paul Sheldon used to writing for a living. Now he's writing to stay alive."

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the Best
Review: I finished this book in a week when I was 11 . The book is about a demented nurse and the best-selling writer she keeps prisoner in her isolated house. It was suspenseful and the synopsis is intriguing, but he did not have to use all that profanity.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Exquisite in its terror.........
Review: Trapped, isolated and at the mercy of a psycho is where the hero wakes up after an auto accident. Survival is the theme in this story, and torture and mayhem in the process make the hero a little nutty too. The plausibility of the circumstances add a real chill to this yarn. Annie is everyone's nightmare. I sense some hint of a metaphor in between the lines: Escape from physical punishment or harm doesn't free one from mental torment! I had such anxiety at certain parts, I had to fast forward a little (like covering my eyes in the movies). Like most of King's books, not for the squeamish or faint-hearted listener.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great! Couldn't Be any better!
Review: Just finished and boy was I blown away! Great book! A page turner!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: ABSOLUTELY THRILLING
Review: This book kept my stomack in knots. Every time he left that room, I just knew she would come back in at the worst possible time. The thing I really enjoyed about this book, was the way that even though at times it may have been outrageous, it was never impossible or out of this world. Read it, it won't take you very long, TRUST ME!
