What a terrifying and gruesome story!

Misery is about an author named Paul Sheldon who had an accident after he finished writing his latest novel and later was rescued/held captive by his number one fan named Annie Wilkes on her remote house.

I like this a lot and one thing that I have to say is that I was freaking out the whole time when I was reading this book. The psychological horror in this is so strong. I kept on rooting for Paul and I feel so bad for his character especially because of the torture and trauma he had experienced. Annie's character is so terrifying and she's all around crazy. Although, the story takes place in the same setting the entire time, I was still intrigued and I wasn't bored by it.

The reason why I'm not giving it full 5 stars is because I was struggling with Stephen King's writing at the very first part of the book and I didn't care that much about the “Misery” chapters, but aside from that I have no other complaints.
