Misery

Summary: A great read. I loved it.
Review: DON'T see the movie before you read the book it might put you off. As per usual this book is much better than the movie. I found King's descriptive writing fascinating. I have read A LOT of King's books & this rates as one of his best. A must-read for King fans.

Summary: Stunning and very Lively
Review: I believed this book was an over all very good book. Although at times it could be gruesome, but I stuck with it and read the whole thing. It was interesting and I recomend it for people who like suspense.

Rating:
Summary: Real fear
Review: I have not read all of King's novels, but I have no doubt they don't get any scarier than this. Do monsters, ghouls and ghosts scare you? No? This will. This book is about real fear.

Summary: Heart-Thumping Suspense
Review: The Master of Suspense must have earned his nickname after writing this book. Although the master himself, Stephen King has surely had his ups and downs during long run on the horror genre, Misery (although not as widely known as his other books) is the peak of the mountain. The book starts off innocently enough but before you know it you will have descended into Stephen King's realm of horror. One of the most frightening, bizzare, and disturbingly realistic books ever written, you won't want to miss it. If you are one of the sceptics who believes that "horror is too unrealistic" consider yourself dared to read Misery. It is a guaranteed thriller. As cliche as it may sound, without a doubt this one book you won't be able to put down! Join Annie and Sheldon in the madness of Misery and you will understand how Mr. King became the "Master Of Suspense"!

Summary: Dull, uneventful, worthless
Review: The main problem with this book is that you just don't care about the fates of the characters. Sure, you've got all the wham-bam gruesome action, some well-described scenes of torture, but even during these sequences where your interest should be at it's high-point, the mind tends to drift, to imagine alternate scenerios, to develop a better telling of the story itself. Every dead-end page after every drudging leaf of cheap, sanitized paper it goes on and on and on and who the hell cares in the end? Stephen King has never been a great writer, just a man with a fertile imagination and enough ability to get by with a fully created world. But, when the story lacks depth or incident--like Misery--then all that scamming and lying to conning for prestige is gone and you're left with a hack churning out yet another volume of garbage.

Summary: If you've seen the movie...? Read the book!
Review: There is so much more to the book than the movie. The images that come to mind are so far superior than anything that Hollywood can portray. If you like being alarmed by man's inhumanity to man...this is the book for you!

Rating:
Summary: Thriller
Review: ''Misery'' is Stephen King's most chilling novel yet. Annie Wilkes will make you shudder.

Rating:
Summary: this book was so intense.. more depth than the movie
Review: I have seen Misery on television many times and i love it more and more everytime but the book you have got to read. It goes into so much more detail. The torture Paul Sheldon goes through is much more than the movie even touches. Annie Wilkes and her wiked thoughts are even greater. I love the book misery and i love the writer Stephen King. thank you Alair

Summary: King's Best!!!
Review: Prepare for an all-nighter. This book is hauntingly scary. A genuine horror story-Stephen King style. The author meticulously created the perfect atmosphere and made Annie Wilkes realistic and somewhat human. This is Stephen King's best work yet. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys pure terror
