Misery

Rating:
Summary: Stephen King at his BEST!
Review: Misery imprints Annie Wilkes inside of you. The horror King creates in this character cannot and will not be forgotten. King is a literary genious in this magnificent work of art. A definate must read for all King fanatics

Rating:
Summary: MUST READ!
Review: This is the most phychologically disturbing books I have read! It was worderful! I consider myself a hard-to-scare reader, but Misery really delivered

Rating:
Summary: Terrfic!
Review: Without doubt, his finest writing. Absolutely blood-curdling. Second only to The Silence of the Lambs. Brrrrrrr

Summary: Complex allegory, or pee-in-your-pants fright fest?
Review: Man, King is good. I interpreted this book -- and stick with me here -- as a metaphor for the creative process. A writer becomes a victim of obsession, "chained" to his work. The price of producing the masterpiece "Misery's Return" is a gruesome one... though, at an allegorical level, familiar to any writer (or creator) obsessed with his own work. Am I the only person who read this message into the story? At any rate, it's engrossing stuff. I read it in about three sittings. I wonder if Mr. King experiences Paul's misery every time he births a new work. If so, then heaven help him

Review: This is the worst book I have ever read. It should not be in bookstores anywhere!!!!!! It was soooo dull it took me a year to get through it

Rating:
Summary: Pretty good, you critics!
Review: This is one of King's better books. The reader really begins to feel for Paul after he is put through a living hell. A great book. I'm ashamed to say that I did not like Misery's Return, the book within a book..

Summary: The best King book to date
Review: I have never given a ten before and I've reviewed many books, but this is one of the very best. Annie Wilkes is the best looney ever written (and Kathy Bates won the oscar for her role as her). If you haven't read it, DO SO

Summary: Frankly, this book kicks.
Review: This book is for any die hard Stephen King fan, and it is safe to say that if you don't read this book you've missed one of King's finest. The fact that there is no supernatural aspect to this book makes it all the more intense, and all the more realistic. The psychotic villian (Annie Wilkes) is one mean woman and someone you don't want to run into in a dark alley, even if you're mugging her. But be warned this book is not for the faint of heart, and those who scare easily. You'd die of heart failure before you got halfway through the book

Rating:
Summary: A great, suspensful, scary novel!
Review: Misery is most certainally King's best book to date. It was actually the first book I ever read from him. I was 11 and my mother handed it to me; I couldn't put it down! From then on, I have been a great fan of his. Although it's been almost 6 years since I read Misery, I still remember the thrill and scare I got from it, and I don't scare easily! It's absolutly not a "dirty bird!" If you want a great, suspesful horror novel from "the King," Misery is defently the one

Rating:
Summary: It was the best
Review: This book had me on the edge from beginning to end. The movie was not as good as the book. Mr. King has some imagination. I love it
