Long time Steven King fan slowly working through his catalog after a long lapse. Loved this book. Annie is an incredible character and the situation is vividly describe. As someone in the process of becoming a writer himself, Paul was a fun character to live in the head of. Love all of the process aspects of writing "Misery's Return."

What can I say? This is my first Stephen king novel, and I loved it. At first it was a bit bloody but nothing I couldn't handle, but as the events escalated, I was anxious, suspicious and doubtful if any of it has really happened.
In summary although I fell under the king's spell, I need me some fluffy, vanilla book to read.
If you're looking for a gruesome, thriller/horror book I highly recommend it.
