The Gnome King reviewed Misery by Stephen King
Review of 'Misery' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Everybody knows this story, mainly because of the movie, it is about a crazy lady who allows a writer to move in with her whilst he recuperates from a fender bender, things soon escalate out of control once the writer realises he is not in a 5 star hotel and the end result is one hell of a tantrum on a scale never seen before. Are all writers like this? I suggest kidnapping one and seeing for yourself.
The book is not one of King's usual horrors, this is suspense all the way, when reading this you'll be on the edge of your seat the whole time. Anne Wilkes is one of my favourite King characters, it makes me wonder if he met somebody like this in real life, King is known for putting events from his life into his books, so it makes you wonder.
Great book, probably due a re-read one day.
