I was so absorbed in the writing that I didn't realise it ended.
This is more of a revenge, psychological thriller book. It's sick, disgusting at times. It shows how a selfish man repents his wrong doings.
It starts off with man waking up from coma, having a full paralysis and faint recollections of the accident that led him to there. He has lost his wife. He has no family except for his mother in law who soon much to the narrator's chagrin is the sole caretaker of his.
It also becomes clear that she is a bit ...unhinged.
This book is a bit odd in a sense that it uses humiliation, recounting and intense writing to fuel the "thriller" parts. Definitely uses the less is more way to build up.

"What my daughter couldn’t. What she meant to do. What she wanted to do. I have to do it for her. And I will. You know she was all I had.”

Ce n'est pas une mauvaise lecture, mais il ne faut pas parler de Misery pour cette lecture. Cette comparaison est une des raisons de ma déception je pense. Après c'est un roman corréen je ne sais pas à quoi je m'attendais.
Bleak, dark, and forgettable.
I am not sure about what I was expecting of this book, but whatever that was, it did not deliver. It reads like literary fiction and I guess I was looking for something more 'in the face'. But that's just me, you may like this.

I'm not sure how I feel to be honest, loved the slightly creepy sections!
Went into this book thinking I’d be reading about something, found that I was supposed to focus on a totally different part of the story!
I would recommend to read it super slowly

This book was a quick but traumatising and sad read. That doesn’t mean I wouldn’t recommend it. Quite the opposite actually it was a very pleasant read and I wouldn’t know how to explain it to anyone. Very well written and thought provoking. I’d highly recommend it.
This is not a horror book. In my opinion, it's more in the literary fiction side. But it does have some eerie and creepy elements. It has real life situations that could go wrong and turn in to something terrified and horror. For me personally, real life horror works more than the supernatural one so this book was interesting. This book was very small like a novella but the whole book was rich in symbolism and literal meaning of life and death. I could feel the pain of the main character.
This is compared to misery because of one aspect of the story. But the story itself is very different. And it made me think how life can turn completely wrong and out of our hands within a moment. This was nicely done and I really liked the overall meaning it was trying to provide.
