Summary: One of the best books stephen King has ever written!
Review: Although this book is not the classic vampire/ghost Stephen King, it is a chilling horror story that has realism that most horror novels and horror movies do not have. If you liked this book, the movie is also spectacular. Kathy Bates, as annie Wilkes, does a great job.

Summary: Misery is a different book, but thoroughly enjoyable
Review: I am an avid reader of Mr. King. He has an outstanding ablility to find a good story in a situation where it wouldn't seem possible. The character of Annie Wilkes is a masterpiece.....she is clearly mentally ill, yet she is terrifying at the same time; She is a character that only King could breathe life into. The movie was a splendid reenactment of the book, but it is missing some of the greater moments of the book (the scene with the lawnboy, for instance, would have added a VERY nice touch to the movie). I would recommend this book to King fans and non-King fans alike.....it is a true winner!

Summary: A Pleasure To Read
Review: This book is one of SK's best. (''Carrie'' is the No.1 King book). It would've been a 5-star novel, but the beginning is extreme crap. However, it is a must-read. The movie is good too.

Summary: Too much junk, but enough spice to keep it going.
Review: I'm not a Stephen King fan, but I must say this is one of his better books. The plot was interesting, suspenseful, and even believable. However, I've always wondered why SK has to put extra words, thoughts, & dangling sentences in his novels. It gets so frustrating to read about EVERY feeling or disjointed thought going through Paul Sheldon's head. Too much of that minute detail and not enough dialogue in my opinion. Mr. King has a very annoying writing style, he writes as if he's jotting down everything going through his mind when he's creating his stories instead of pulling the pieces together to make a more jointed, cohesive tale. So, for writing style I give Mr. King 2 stars and 4 stars for creativity.

Summary: A look into the mind of a writer
Review: I have started reading King only recently and I have to say that Misery is one of the best books I have ever read. It really pulled me into the claustrophic, bizarre world of Annie and Paul and their strange sick relationship.The mental processes King describes as Paul writes Misery's Return are fascinating. It's a great description of the creative effort. Paul comes to realize that the novel he was coerced to write about a character he despised actually saved his life -- and his sanity. He also discovers some truths about himself and his own strengths. Annie is one of the scariest people I have ever read about. Mostly because she is so REAL. You can see her in a supermarket or at a movie -- or, worse, at your bedside in a hospital! Both Annie and Paul are wonderfully developed characters. Of course, the pain, torture and gore is chillingly described and will keep you awake at night. If you only read one King book, this one should be it. If you're like me and find them as addictive as potato chips, you'll also like Dolores Claiborne and Gerald's Game. Thanks, Stephen.

Summary: An OK Book
Review: I read Misery and I thought it was OK. The thing I didn't like about it was that SK put Misery's Return in this book. I thought, "Why the hell is this here? The only way it is related is that Paul is writting it for Annie." Another thing I didn't like was that Paul actually published Misery's Return. If I had been through what he had been through, I would destroy that book. All it would do is remind me of the torture I went through. Other than this, the book was good.

Summary: Awesome, through and through!!!
Review: One of King's best stories of all time. Not truely a "horror story" in the traditional sense. It scared me, though. The only other book to do that was "Pet Semetary." If you liked this book by King, then read Delores Claiborne and Gerold's Game. I'm sure that you'll enjoy them also. Thanks Stephen for all that you've given.

Summary: The book misery to me was an excellent novel!!
Review: My attention was caught in the first few chapters. although there are some parts that are long and seem unneccessary, are very important and end up coming back up. I couldn't put the book down. it's very creepy and somewhat mysterious. If you like suspenseful books, its perfect! I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read a good, eerie novel, but you have to be patient.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ
Review: Misery was so good. The movie was as good as the book. You could really feel the mood swings of Annie. The book was different that the movie though. Annie was much nicer in the movie. I liked how Steven King used the typewriter w/o the n's. It really gave spice to the book. Instead of just boring old print he had to write in the n's. All in all it was the best book I have ever read
