Misery by Stephen King
5.0
I've only read two of SK's works: one Under The Dome, the other Hearts in Atlantis. The latter bored me a quarter before I finish it, so it sits still in my DNF. I thought the former was brilliant. But Misery- oh lord. The name Annie will never be the same to my ears like it did before.
The book was short, easy to read, the plot isn't complicated at all. All that Paul Sheldon has to do is escape his demented captor, Annie Wilkes, before she could finish them both.
The text was so gruesome and vivid, I was deliriously shaking my head, whispering 'no, no, no' almost the entire time reading it. But there he was: Stephen King- having fun and making a hell lot of money out of his sick, twisted and brilliant imagination. I couldn't appreciate him more.
