A review by lisacerezo
Misery by Stephen King

5.0

This book really took off after the halfway point and I could not put it down. As so often happens, I enjoyed the glimmer of other stories tucked away in little moments. Likewise I could tell the folks behind season two of Castle Rock did their homework — nice parallels in the show.

I can’t help but think of King’s own accident, though it happened years after Misery was published. This feels very autobiographical and somehow precognitive, which makes it all the more viscerally creepy.
