Misery

My first Stephen King novel!!
Is it puny if I say I was very miserable reading this? It started out so slow and took so long to pick up to a pace I like. Maybe I'm just not a fan of this genre?? I don't know. Contemplated giving a 2 or 3 star rating - but 3 stars means I would most probably pick up another novel of his but I don't see myself doing that in a long time, at least.
