Summary: Annie's Back
Review: Misery by Stephen King was the second Stephen King book that I have read and I enjoyed it as much as the first. I had seen the movie before I read the book and the book was tens times better than the movie. This book is about a crazed fan, Annie, who is caring for her favorite author, Paul Sheldon. In caring for Paul, Annie makes Paul write a book that he does not want to write, she tortured him, and killed a man because she did not want anyone to find Paul until he had finished the book. I enjoyed this book because it was easy for me to read and I enjoyed the suspense and horror of it. There were no dull moments in the book which made it better because I never got distracted from it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: Misery is incredible as a commentary on the struggle of the artist during the creative process, as a look at the battle of the sexes, and as a terrific mystery/horror novel.

I admire King's genius. Annie Wilkes has Paul burn the manuscript he believes is his best work, and forces him to greater heights. True this is done through pain and fear... but then that's how many great things are done.

Secretly, it's excting to experience a woman with the upper hand, even if it carries an axe!

Misey delivers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: King at his finest!
Review: Misery is a great book. King puts the reader in Paul Sheldon's head and you can actually feel the pain he is going through. Unlike other unrealistic monsters,Annie Wilkes is totally believeable. The movie is alright too,but it leaves out the most suspenseful parts in the book (The amputations,the state trooper that is killed by Annie,and the other troopers that come to investigate).Plus,the movie kills Buster,the likeable sheriff. Not terrifying,but perfectly suspenseful! Well done!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Se le escapó la tortuga.
Review: (SAP) Es un muy buen librito, que si lo leés te gusta, y si no no. Podés leerlo en cualquier lado: en el bondy, en el laburo o en el inodoro. No entendés una palabra, la buscás en el mataburros. Tiene lindos dibujitos, pero le faltan lindos colorcitos. No te lo pierdas, pero primero andá a la página de Pamela Anderson que está mejor, ahí el que queda hecho una Misery sos vos.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Swarthy
Review: I just read this book and I thought that it was one of the best Steve Kink books I have ever read, even comparable to the Shining which I loved. always thrilling and in many parts, scary. The only drawback was the last part of the book, but it is still definately worth getting the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A story of unpredictable misfortunes.
Review: A reader from San Francisco, California, 10/22/98 Rating 10

A story of unpredictable misfortunes

Misery so far has been the best book I've read. Not only does it keep the reader wanting more of the story, but it keeps the plot a mystery. The setting is a great visual for the reader, in the middle of nowhere during a stormy winter season. One can almost sympathize for the character, Paul Sheldon, through the pain and torture which he suffers. Stephen King's purpose is to establish a mood of darkness and vulnerability, and through the first pages of the book, it is seen through the eyes of Paul Sheldon. I definently recommend that all students and book worms should take interest into this book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sure to grab your attention
Review: This book really grabs your attention and keeps you wanting to read on. The characters play excellent roles. The plot is intense. You don't know what is going to happen next. Annie Wilkes puts Paul Sheldon in misery throughout the the story, slowly killing him in a way but at the same time saving him. Without her he survive, but without her he would not be tortured. The torture she puts him through is incredible, very creative. this is definitely one of Stephen King's best books. I have read the book and seen the movie and I recomend both. But I recomend the book most of all. It exspressesso much more detail than the movie does.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Undiluted horror..full of twists & turns & mounting suspense
Review: Stephen King creates another horror and suspense, and a very good one at that. Just as good as Thinner or even better. Synopsis: After Paul Sheldon's (award winning author) accident, Annie Wilkes, his number one fan, takes him in and takes on the responsibility if being his nurse. He is grateful that she is taking care of him and his shattered legs, but his gratefulness soon turns to fear. She is a phsychotic with an axe and torch who will do anything to keep him there to finish his award winning novels especially for her. ...The axe came whistling down and buried itself in Paul Sheldon's left leg just above the ankle. Pain exploded up his body in a gigantic bolt. Dark-red blood splattered across her face like Indian warpaint. It splattered the wall. He looked unbelievingly down at himself. The sheet was turning red. He saw his toes wrigling. Then he saw her raising the dripping axe again. Her hair had fallen free of its pins around her blank face.... This book i very vivid and gets you thinking alot. Things like, what is going to happen next?, or could this really happen? I recommend this book for anyone that is a Stephen King fan. This is truely one of his best. Once you pick up this book you won't be able to put it down.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Review Of Misery---by Stephen King's number one fan.
Review: This book was awsome! I really liked the ending, the way Paul Sheldon thought, etc. The only thing that scares me is that this could really happen. Can you imagine waking up one day and finding yourself in an unfamiliar house, and a couple of minutes later, you see an unfamiliar woman next to you? Then, as time passes by, you get the feeling that you're a prisioner in a house with an insane woman? That is scary...

This is one of Stephen King's best books. I wish more people could write like he does...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: One of my favorites
Review: Annie Wilkes is a terrifying character--what made this book so scary is that all of this could actually happen!
