Misery

Rating:
Summary: Definately vintage King
Review: Kathy Bates and James Caan might've made the movie famous, but Stephen King's book is ultimately better. It's one of his few thrillers without any supernatural elements in the mix. It's also one of the best novels he's ever written. Better than "The Stand" and infinately better than "The Shining", this novel draws intimate and unforgettable portraits of its two main characters. Some scenes really are harrowing; they'll have you putting your hand over your mouth in shock. Fantastic book. In "Danse Macabre" Stephen King said his definition of art was when the audience received more from the product than they contributed. If that's true, then this is definately fine art.

Summary: A book that's easy to put down and walk away from.
Review: Misery is perhaps the worst book I have ever read. From cover to cover, nothing but predictability. Paul sheldons attempt to decieve Annie, and her naivety to fall for it every time got very old. By the time I was halfway through I wanted one of them to die. It didn't matter which one it was. If you are new to the Stephen King scene, pick a different book. I would hate for you to get the wrong idea about this writer by reading this book.

Summary: One of King's best!
Review: This was the 1st Stephen King book that I read. I'm glad that I chose this book. It may not have been a horror book, but it extremely suspenseful. I enjoyed it very much. I could'nt put it down. There wasn't 1 night that I didn't read at least 60 pages of it. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. What a truly remarkable book, with a chilling ending. A definite must-read!

Summary: A fantastic Stephen King novel!
Review: "Misery" , written by acclaimed novelist Stephen King, is the story of a best-selling author, Paul Sheldon, is injured during a car accident on a cold winter's night. Rescued by a former nurse, Annie Wilkes, Paul soon realizes after he wakes up from the accident that Annie is not your run of the mill R.N. A truely horrifying novel which, and I will make this very clear, does not contain any ghosts, goblins, devils or any supernatural beings at all. However, could good ol' Annie be scarier than all of the above? I recommend all this book to any Genre lover. A masterpeice.

Summary: Great Novel by a Great Writer!
Review: This was a very powerful and an edge of your seat kind of story. There is no really slow parts in the book long enough to put it down. It keeps you constantly wondering what Annie Wilkes has around the next corner. Great Book!

Summary: A supurb Stephen King novel; tromenous suspense.
Review: Stephen King's novel "Misery" is in my opinion NOT of the Horror Genre. In fact, I consider it perhaps not being of the Fiction genre either. How do we know that instances such as the one told in this work of art could'nt happen? How do we know they all ready hav'nt?

Summary: King falters at the end
Review: In a solid but unspectacular horror outing, Stephen King again has caused nationwide outbreaks of insomnia and bed-wetting. This time, it is the isolated Colorado mountain home of one Annie Wilkes. Wilkes is one of Stephen King's most terrifying villains, from her edgy depression to her desperate attempts at conformity. After keeping the reader biting his nails to shreds for the first 2/3 of the book, King loses his touch. The final portions of the book, while still scary, are not up to King's standards. Still, Misery will terrify and entertain King fans. It is an excellent "first book" for someone new to King.
