A miserable book, absolutely fantastic. King’s writing gets a little corny here and there, but not enough to put me off how incredibly uncomfortable and surprisingly insightful this book can be. Fantastic character study of the sardonically determined Paul and the insane but dangerously clever Annie Wilkes.
Lots of King-typical stomach churning violence partitioned by moments of commentary about media creation and its relationship with the consumer/mega-fan.
Great book!! Loved it! Terrible! Fantastic! Kind of made me want to throw up! Read it!
