About the author
Stephen King
2,567听books870k听followersStephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Parts of his childhood were spent in Fort Wayne, Indiana, where his father's family was at the time, and in Stratford, Connecticut. When Stephen was eleven, his mother brought her children back to Durham, Maine, for good. Her parents, Guy and Nellie Pillsbury, had become incapacitated with old age, and Ruth King was persuaded by her sisters to take over the physical care of them. Other family members provided a small house in Durham and financial support. After Stephen's grandparents passed away, Mrs. King found work in the kitchens of Pineland, a nearby residential facility for the mentally challenged.
Stephen attended the grammar school in Durham and Lisbon Falls High School, graduating in 1966. From his sophomore year at the University of Maine at Orono, he wrote a weekly column for the school newspaper, THE MAINE CAMPUS. He was also active in student politics, serving as a member of the Student Senate. He came to support the anti-war movement on the Orono campus, arriving at his stance from a conservative view that the war in Vietnam was unconstitutional. He graduated in 1970, with a B.A. in English and qualified to teach on the high school level. A draft board examination immediately post-graduation found him 4-F on grounds of high blood pressure, limited vision, flat feet, and punctured eardrums.
He met Tabitha Spruce in the stacks of the Fogler Library at the University, where they both worked as students; they married in January of 1971. As Stephen was unable to find placement as a teacher immediately, the Kings lived on his earnings as a laborer at an industrial laundry, and her student loan and savings, with an occasional boost from a short story sale to men's magazines.
Stephen made his first professional short story sale ("The Glass Floor") to Startling Mystery Stories in 1967. Throughout the early years of his marriage, he continued to sell stories to men's magazines. Many were gathered into the Night Shift collection or appeared in other anthologies.
In the fall of 1971, Stephen began teaching English at Hampden Academy, the public high school in Hampden, Maine. Writing in the evenings and on the weekends, he continued to produce short stories and to work on novels.

'Misery' is a gruesome story of torture with blood, guts, and a psychopath. It's a well told tale, the characters are well developed and the fact that there are only two of them never gets boring. It's a real page turner, in fact I finished it tonight after getting off the subway on the platform before I walked home. But, this book is more than just a thriller, just like King is more than just a pulp writer.
I read an article by the ever optimistic and cheerful Harold Bloom in college about how dismayed he was that young people like Stephen King so much. All the literature crtics I've read hate King and it seems like it's just because people actually enjoy reading his work. Yeah, Bloom, I said 'work' just like I would about Tolstoy's 'work' because Stephen King as damned hard worker. Think of all the books he's churned out over the last few decades. I'd like to see Harold Bloom show enough imagination to write fiction instead of just criticizing it all the time.
I'm actually new to Stephen King's fiction. I've read a few of the essays and articles he's written and a really great graduation speech he gave at UMaine awhile ago in which he extolled the virtues of our mutual home state, but this is only my 3rd novel by him. I like this guy, and I know why too. It's not just because he makes me scream and I have a hard time putting his books down, it's because King loves writing. He has a real and self-aware relationship with what it means to be a writer. He knows he's not Tolstoy or Faulkner, he doesn't try to write that way. He knows how to tell a good god damned story and he has a passion for it. I appreciate his self awareness as a writer and the fact that he ackowledges how difficult the whole process is while not making us feel like he's somehow superior because he's figured out how to do it.
In 'Misery' it's almost like we get to watch King write this story. He doesn't just set us up for a crazy story and watch us discover things about his characters, it feels like he actually comes with us and makes the discoveries at the same time we do. That's what makes a good storyteller. And I don't give a damn if Bloom likes him or not.

Honestly, who among us hasn鈥檛 gotten frustrated with their favorite writer and felt like holding them prisoner while forcing them to write the exact book that we want?
Well, don鈥檛 do that because it would be wrong! What kind of twisted freaks are you people?!?
Paul Sheldon is a best selling author who just ended his popular series of romance/adventure novels by killing off the lead character, Misery Chastain. After finishing a new novel at a Colorado resort Paul has a car accident and awakes to find that his legs have been shattered, but that he鈥檚 been saved by his self-proclaimed number one fan, Annie Wilkes.
Unfortunately, Annie turns out to be more than just a little crazy, and when she learns that Paul killed Misery in the latest book she demands that he write a new one that brings back her favorite character. Held captive by a madwoman, Paul is almost helpless to resist the physical and psychological tortures she uses to get her way while insisting that it鈥檚 really for his own good.
This book seems eerily prophetic of King鈥檚 career in some ways. Uncle Stevie hadn鈥檛 yet frustrated readers of his Dark Tower series with long delays between books, and yet he absolutely nailed the self-righteous fury of a fan who feels somehow cheated out of what they deserve. You gotta think that later on King worried that he had some version of Annie out there just waiting to chain him to typewriter to finish DT. He was also years away from suffering his own enormous physical trauma after being hit by a car, but he still makes you feel every agonizing moment that Paul suffers from his accident and at Annie鈥檚 hands. Like Paul, King would also have the experience of returning to writing being a matter of overcoming physical pain but also finding it to be a way to escape it.
One of King鈥檚 biggest strengths is that he knows the power of a good story, and this plot serves him well by really letting him dig into that. Annie鈥檚 obsession with Misery is something that probably almost every reader can relate to, but what鈥檚 really interesting is how Paul鈥檚 need to tell the story becomes just as compelling as Annie鈥檚 threats. The set-up lets Uncle Stevie explore the whole notion of just why we gotta know what happens next as well as the rules that make it a satisfying resolution or a cheat.
I could make a pretty solid argument that this is King鈥檚 best book. He was very much at the peak of his powers here, and either the simple two person structure of the story or good editing kept this at a normal novel length. That鈥檇 become a rarity in his bloated books after this, and it does feel like King at his most disciplined. In Annie Wilkes he crafted a character worthy of being included in a Villain鈥檚 Hall of Fame, and he makes good use of her as a figure who can be terrifying, sometimes tragic, and weirdly humorous at times.
However, I鈥檓 not saying it鈥檚 my favorite King book. (Probably The Stand or the last Dark Tower hold that honor.) Why wouldn鈥檛 his best book be the one I enjoy most? Because he did just too good of job on making us feel Paul鈥檚 pain. Sure, this is a book about a man who suffered a terrible accident and then found himself brutalized at the hands of a psychopath so it makes perfect sense that Uncle Stevie would want us to ache along with Paul. Yet, it鈥檚 very hard to spend an entire book with a main character who is almost always at some level of agony without feeling worn down by it. It鈥檚 necessary for the plot, but it also makes it a slog at times.
So it's definitely among King鈥檚 best, but it's also one I haven鈥檛 read it nearly as many times as some of his others because it鈥檚 simply too damn tough to get through at times. Still it鈥檚 a 5 star ride if you grit your teeth and keep reading as Paul keeps on writing.

However, I鈥檓 not saying it鈥檚 my favorite King book. (Probably The Stand or the last Dark Tower hold that honor.) Why wouldn鈥檛 his best book be the one I enjoy most? Because he did just too good of job on making us feel Paul鈥檚 pain. Sure, this is a book about a man who suffered a terrible accident and then found himself brutalized at the hands of a psychopath so it makes perfect sense that Uncle Stevie would want us to ache along with Paul. Yet, it鈥檚 very hard to spend an entire book with a main character who is almost always at some level of agony without feeling worn down by it. It鈥檚 necessary for the plot, but it also makes it a slog at times.
So it's definitely among King鈥檚 best, but it's also one I haven鈥檛 read it nearly as many times as some of his others because it鈥檚 simply too damn tough to get through at times. Still it鈥檚 a 5 star ride if you grit your teeth and keep reading as Paul keeps on writing.

El mejor libro que he le铆do de Stephen King. 隆Una genialidad! Me perturba, me encanta.
La mayor parte de los secuestros que se generan en el mundo son realizados para obtener dinero a cambio, para prostituir a sus v铆ctimas, por venganzas, o simplemente por psicopat铆a del criminal. Ser secuestrado es sin贸nimo de vivir en una condici贸n indigna y deplorable, y es algo que no deber铆a ocurrir en ning煤n pa铆s del mundo. Pero, 驴qu茅 pasar铆a si te encontraras un libro con este tema principal, y en vez de sentir compasi贸n por el reh茅n, te recorriera por tu mente una extra帽a sensaci贸n de morbo por seguir conociendo m谩s y m谩s atrocidades realizadas por la antagonista de esta historia? Aunque parezca un disparate, no lo es. Eso, exactamente, es lo que viv铆 y sent铆 tras leer esta maravillosa obra de Stephen King. Tiene escenas tan macabras, pero a la vez tan extraordinarias, que es inevitable no confundir la maldad con la genialidad. Soy consciente de que lo que voy a escribir es imprudente, teniendo en cuenta que me falta leer muchas obras muy distinguidas de este autor, como It, El resplandor o la saga de La Torre Oscura, pero sinceramente, teniendo en cuenta la calidad de esta obra, me atrever铆a a decir que acabo de leer la mejor obra de Stephen King. 隆Alucinante!
Todo comenz贸 hace unos meses cuando intentaba decidir mi pr贸xima lectura. Mis opciones eran El padrino de Mario Puzo, El nombre de la rosa de Umberto Eco y, justamente, El resplandor de Stephen King. Tres n贸velas muy famosas, con un n煤mero de p谩ginas similar, que observaba con detenimiento y titubeo porque sent铆a una gran ansiedad por leer esas historias en ese mismo instante, pero no lograba decidir cu谩l leer primero. Eso es algo que me ocurre frecuentemente y por ello intento premeditar mis pr贸ximas lecturas con anterioridad, pero en esa ocasi贸n lo olvid茅, mi cerebro se bloque贸 y la elecci贸n esperada nunca apareci贸. Esa noche tanto ser铆a mi coraje por culpa de mi indecisi贸n que finalmente decid铆 no leer absolutamente nada. Sin embargo, la vida y los libros siempre tienen hermosas sorpresas en el momento m谩s inesperado. Esto, porque aquella noche cuando guardaba aquellas obras, mis ojos se ubicaron en Misery y entonces minutos m谩s tarde desaparecieron mis penas, y todo porque sin darme cuenta empezar铆a a leer esta historia con much铆sima avidez. Curiosamente, en este mismo instante que estoy haciendo esta rese帽a, recuerdo que a煤n no leo aquellas obras que pensaba leer primero. As铆 son los libros, as铆 es la vida de un lector.
Fue una historia que desde el inicio me atrap贸. En estas primeras p谩ginas se cuenta sobre el estado en trance que vive el protagonista de la historia, Paul Sheldon, despu茅s de sufrir un grave accidente de tr谩nsito. Paul, siente que se est谩 muriendo, y desde su estado delicado de salud, empieza a narrar de una manera incre铆ble exactamente lo que est谩 viendo y sintiendo en aquellos momentos. Desde ese pre谩mbulo, el libro se gan贸 completamente mi atenci贸n porque descubr铆 que este personaje que usa Stephen, que por cierto es un escritor, ten铆a vida propia. Y s铆, lo s茅, Stephen King es un genio para crear personajes y hacerlos parecer reales en todas sus historias, pero este personaje es muy diferente, es 煤nico. Una cosa es que Stephen te narre desde el personaje las acciones que 茅l realiza y combin谩ndolo con sus conversaciones consiga armonizar su prosa para no hacerla pesada, pero otra muy diferente es que el personaje piense por s铆 mismo, imagine, deduzca lo que est谩 ocurriendo, saque sus propias conclusiones y adem谩s transmita de una forma t茅trica el dolor, el sufrimiento, el miedo, la angustia y el amor por su trabajo de una manera incre铆ble. Paul Sheldon no es un personaje con frases 茅picas para rememorar, pero s铆 es uno que logra interpretar perfectamente el rol de escritor, ayudando a que el lector comprenda todo lo que tiene que esforzarse y vivir un autor para crear tan solo una sola obra. Como lectores muchas veces ignoramos y olvidamos que escribir no es f谩cil, por ello, libros como este nos sirven para comprender a esas personas que se dedican horas, semanas, meses y a帽os intentando crear con l贸gica y con much铆sima imaginaci贸n, una historia que pueda gustarle a sus lectores. S铆, el libro es de horror, pero incluso en la oscuridad hay luz, en la pobreza hay bondad, y en una historia de un secuestro hay belleza por el amor hacia nuestros amigos de papel.
驴Pero saben que es lo mejor? Que Paul Sheldon no es lo m谩s sobresaliente de este libro. A pesar de que hay tanto por destacar de este personaje, lo mejor 鈥攕in duda alguna鈥� se llama Annie Wilkes. Ella, es una de las mejores antagonistas que he conocido en mi vida. Es una mujer desquiciada, cruel, fr铆a, sanguinaria y torturadora, pero a pesar de todo 鈥攜 como pasa con much铆simos villanos鈥� su comportamiento y proceder tiene una raz贸n de ser. Aunque parezca un disparate, en el cerebro de Annie asesinar no es sin贸nimo de maldad, es ayudar a los dem谩s a que puedan descansar del horrible mundo en el que vivimos. 驴Y saben qu茅? Por momentos no puedo negar que a veces s铆 le doy la raz贸n a ella. Aun as铆, no es lo mismo asesinar por un c贸digo moral, que torturar f铆sica y mentalmente a tus presas; por lo tanto, la mejor frase que puede describir a Annie Wilkes es 鈥淓sa maldita perra est谩 loca鈥�. Espero no encontrarme nunca una persona como ella en mi vida, 隆Qu茅 miedo dar铆a tan solo conversar con alguien as铆!
Ahora bien, dos excelentes personajes con pensamientos tan diferentes 驴qu茅 tienen en com煤n? Esa respuesta se llama Misery. Misery, es un personaje femenino de una serie de libros que crea Paul Sheldon y que son muy populares en todo el mundo. El problema, es que Paul 鈥攁l igual que Arthur Conan Doyle con su famos铆simo Sherlock Holmes鈥� est谩 cansado de su personaje, y no soporta escribir m谩s sobre ella por lo que ha decidido acabar con su personaje m谩s popular. Su desagrado se debe a que las obras donde Misery no tiene aparici贸n no son tenidas en cuenta, y Paul quiere ser reconocido por algo m谩s que ser el creador de aquella emblem谩tica mujer. Pero, Paul tiene un problema mucho m谩s grande, y ese problema es que despu茅s de su accidente de tr谩nsito aparece en casa de Annie Wilkes, quien dice ser su fan n煤mero uno, justamente por crear Misery. 驴C贸mo se llevar谩n ellos dos? Eso es lo interesante del libro, descubrirlo. Quiz谩s pueden sospecharlo, pero ni se imaginan las locuras que ocurren en aquella casa.
En cuanto a la prosa tambi茅n me gust贸 demasiado. Aqu铆, Stephen usa cap铆tulos cortos 鈥攃omo en 22/11/63鈥� por lo que resulta muy atractivo para que el lector no detenga su lectura nunca. Pasa una hora y no lo notas, pasan dos y te emocionas, pasan tres y pierdes el control: Es una locura. Adem谩s, escribir una historia con cap铆tulos cortos por lo general convierte un libro que puede ser denso, en uno ligero y muy adictivo, por lo que esta historia se lee rapid铆simo a pesar de sus 400 p谩ginas. Otro aspecto interesante de la prosa, son las secciones donde se presentan fragmentos de las n贸velas de Paul Sheldon. Estos cap铆tulos son muy especiales, porque all铆 Stephen cambia completamente su estilo literario, e incluso no parecen escritas esas p谩ginas por 茅l, sino por el mism铆simo Paul Sheldon. Hacer algo as铆 es muy dif铆cil, pero aqu铆, este autor, demuestra su verdadero don para escribir. Es un verdadero genio.
Debo reconocer que en algunos cap铆tulos cre铆 que la historia ven铆a de m谩s a menos, y que la obra se hab铆a transformado de un libro de terror a uno de misterio. Pero, una vez segu铆 avanzando, entend铆 que solo eran p谩ginas de transici贸n porque m谩s adelante, en el 煤ltimo tercio, todo vuelve a ser tan impactante y terror铆fico como en cap铆tulos pasados. Asimismo, tambi茅n confieso que en las primeras p谩ginas no sab铆a si pensar que Paul era un visionario, o si realmente esa era su manera de analizar la situaci贸n. Inicialmente, cre铆 que esa actitud de Paul ser铆a una falla, pero despu茅s me qued贸 claro que no. Son peque帽os detalles que podr铆an considerarse como 芦defectos禄, pero son tan insignificantes que me parece incre铆ble que no haya logrado encontrar un desperfecto importante en alg煤n aspecto de esta novela. Realmente Stephen ha hecho un trabajo de otro nivel, obras as铆 son muy dif铆ciles de igualar o superar.
A veces pienso que es m谩s dif铆cil dar una opini贸n neutral, y sin ofender, sobre un libro que no me ha gustado, pero luego, en ocasiones como esta, reflexiono y comprendo que no siempre es as铆. Esta novela me ha encantado, pero he sufrido much铆simo, pero much铆simo intentando escribir sobre este libro tan espectacular, y todo porque la sola menci贸n de esta historia 鈥攐 de alguno de los personajes鈥� me hace sentir la necesidad de empezar a decir spoilers sin control. Cr茅anme, es muy dif铆cil controlarme, intentar reprimir palabras es una gran tortura; es tan dif铆cil, que dos d铆as despu茅s de terminar de leerlo intent茅 recomend谩rselo a mi hermano, pero sin querer result茅 cont谩ndoselo todo: Lo siento querido hermano. S茅 que Misery es una pel铆cula muy famosa de 1990 y que quiz谩s muchos conocen la historia por aquella cinta, pero ni as铆 hay justificaci贸n para hacerle spoilers a aquellos (as) que por diferentes motivos nunca vieron la pel铆cula y que no conocen absolutamente nada de esta novela. Por lo tanto, para aquellas personas quiero recomendarles que no vean la pel铆cula, no sin antes leer este libro. En mi caso, yo nunca vi la pel铆cula porque de peque帽o en mi hogar solo ten铆amos un televisor y no sol铆amos observar pel铆culas de terror/horror por el miedo a so帽arnos pesadillas. Pero, inmediatamente cuando finalic茅 esta lectura, busqu茅 la pel铆cula por internet, la descargu茅, la vi y aunque no puedo negar que es una gran adaptaci贸n, sinceramente no tiene comparaci贸n con este libro: El libro es mil veces mejor, as铆 de simple. La otra recomendaci贸n es para aquellos que jam谩s han le铆do a Stephen King, pero que sienten inter茅s por hacerlo para conocer al 鈥渁mo del terror鈥�. S茅 que este autor tiene bastantes obras, y ante un cat谩logo tan grande es muy dif铆cil elegir cu谩l leer, pero, si lo que buscan es una historia que los atrape, que los impacte, y que sea f谩cil y adictiva de leer, entonces este libro es lo que est谩n buscando. No se arrepentir谩n, se los prometo, no se arrepentir谩n ni un solo segundo.
Termino completamente satisfecho, lo releer茅 en el futuro un sinf铆n de veces, y naturalmente seguir茅 leyendo muchas de las obras de Stephen King. S茅 que muy probablemente ninguna de sus obras me har谩 sentir lo que he vivido con esta lectura, pero a煤n hay un camino largo por explorar y s茅 que voy a disfrutar sus dem谩s obras. Libro s煤per recomendado.

One room, a strange couple, and lots of innovative ideas to deal with writers' block and stop procrastinating fast. Or鈥�
The most captivating thing about this novel is how permanent fear is escalating to more and more shocking and horrifying revelations, actions, and torture methods and how the feeling of insecurity and not knowing what comes next is slowly eating away the mental sanity of the protagonist while Annie is entering ultra bonkers mode.
Reminiscing about the art of writing. As so often, King is putting much of the 眉ber stoned, paranoid, maybe hearing voices, himself into it, especially about the creative process that, spoiler warning, duh, isn麓t just unicorns and free floating creativity through rainbow colored sirup rivers that make one handsome, immortal, and smart when drinking from it, but thousands of years old (once something Aristotle didn麓t get completely wrong and obstructed scientific process for millennia, incredible, what a fraud, he single handedly caused as much suffering in the humanities and even some hard sciences as a flying spaghetti monster ideology), often revolutionized rules, discipline, and training until perfection by writing every freaking day and edit and rewrite and cut and again from the beginning. As Brandon Sanderson, a kind of Stephen King of fantasy who also studied creative writing said, it麓s possible to say after a few pages if this is a highly professional writer who does it for decades or a complete rookie. Just as with painting, music, etc., one can see or hear after a few moments if it麓s a prodigy or an incompetent bumbler. People just seem to have a kind of romantic glorification of writing as an easygoing hobby and just don麓t see the work behind it.
And here comes Annie, who may be crazy as heck, but does know how to distinguish between easy made, loveless garbage, and real art. These passages, especially the novel inside the novel the poor protagonist is forced to write, are especially precious for people who are interested in creative writing. Annie immediately detects each attempt to do average or bad work, giving a kind of short workshop about how to detect errors or logical fallacies. Better don麓t try to chisel鈥�
Strong female psycho characters are sadly so underrepresented in our modern culture and I jay at each mass murdering, raping (however), and torturing lunatic psycho goth succubus (damn hot too, although it may have been a male incubus before which makes me feel kind of irritated regarding my sexual identity and preferences), who leads emancipation to new levels. Men have been eating and mutilating females for millennia, so now is really the badly needed payoff day for femininity. Just, please, consume the other males, ok? Damn, I should definitively get my VPN and antivirus software pimped, I麓m a bit hot too, thereby a not so unlikely target. Maybe one of these attractive monsters is reading this just now and tracking my IP address, planning the trip鈥� But at least a good way to go, I hope, maybe it gets at least a bit naughty too so that it麓s worth death.
I麓m sorry for each poor forensic psychiatrist who will try to get behind the functioning of my psychopathological background in sociopathy and filth and maybe lose her/his mind by the way. Welcome to the club. Lols and rofls madly. Short commercial break鈥�
However, I lost track in my sadomasochistic exreme horror torture porn fantasies again, sorry, I麓m finished now, I mean, damn, facepalms, back to the show. (T)his talking about myself third person perspective style really escalated quickly鈥�
I麓m pretty sure that I mentioned how Tabitha King owned her husband by saying: 鈥濬irst, you wrote this novel about a writer caught by a mad fan. Then you wrote a book ( Geralds麓game) about a woman chained to a bed. Next, you麓ll write a book about a couch without anything happening.鈥� And I would totally buy it, thank you, mister King! I hope he gets bitten by a vampire and lives and writes forever, I would bring him victims so that he doesn麓t have to starve. And become a vampire myself too, of course.
I麓ve kind of a highly subjective feeling that Kings麓drug and alcohol problems played in big here too, because the whole setting, the inability to escape, getting hooked on by a maniac, feeling trapped, and this immensely dense atmosphere of despair and fear could be seen as indicators of a soul haunted by addiction. Although it would have been much cozier for the protagonist if he would have been permanently high so that the suffering wouldn麓t have mattered that much, as long as he got his shots, spliffs, and sniffs.
Tropes show how literature is conceptualized and created and which mixture of elements makes works and genres unique:

Misery, Stephen King
Paul Sheldon, the author of the best-selling series of Victorian era romance novels featuring the character Misery Chastain, has finished the series' final installment, in which Misery is killed off out of Paul's boredom of her. As Paul celebrates the completion of the manuscript for his new crime novel, Fast Cars, he has an alcohol-induced impulse to drive to Los Angeles rather than fly back home to New York City, but is caught in a snowstorm in a remote section of Colorado, causing him to drive off a cliff and crash into a snowbank.
He awakens to find that he has been rescued by Annie Wilkes, a former nurse living nearby. Annie is an avid reader of Paul's Misery series, proclaiming herself Paul's "number one fan." She refuses to take Paul to the hospital despite his having two severely broken legs, nursing Paul herself using her stockpiled food and illicit stash of codeine-based painkillers, to which Paul quickly becomes addicted.
Paul soon assesses that Annie is mentally unstable; she is prone to trailing off into catatonic episodes and has bouts of unreasonable rage. When Annie finally reads Misery's Child and learns of Misery's death, she leaves Paul alone in her house for over two days, depriving him of food, water and painkillers. ...

Paul Sheldon, the author of the best-selling series of Victorian era romance novels featuring the character Misery Chastain, has finished the series' final installment, in which Misery is killed off out of Paul's boredom of her. As Paul celebrates the completion of the manuscript for his new crime novel, Fast Cars, he has an alcohol-induced impulse to drive to Los Angeles rather than fly back home to New York City, but is caught in a snowstorm in a remote section of Colorado, causing him to drive off a cliff and crash into a snowbank.
He awakens to find that he has been rescued by Annie Wilkes, a former nurse living nearby. Annie is an avid reader of Paul's Misery series, proclaiming herself Paul's "number one fan." She refuses to take Paul to the hospital despite his having two severely broken legs, nursing Paul herself using her stockpiled food and illicit stash of codeine-based painkillers, to which Paul quickly becomes addicted.
Paul soon assesses that Annie is mentally unstable; she is prone to trailing off into catatonic episodes and has bouts of unreasonable rage.

With the fore knowledge, I can definitely see how this was originally going to be a book, with the carnage from the opening scene followed by darkness, madness and torture throughout! Lots of personal knowledge shared via Stephen King's addiction problems, gives this story even more power than the maelstrom of the Number One Fan herself. Some great pacing and segmenting, put me continually on a knife's edge. 8 out of 12, firm Four Stars.

- really fond of using sexual assault as a metaphor (cool cool cool)
- harmfully stereotypical in terms of race (the Africa references/setting)
- harmfully stereotypical in terms of gender (so much man-goes-to-work woman-stays-home)
- honestly just pretty hateful toward women??
- all for using the n word without blinking, apparently
a list of things this book was not:
- scary
- all that great of a read for me
bottom line: i guess i get the stephen king appeal. but, uh. NOT A FAN.
note from future me: if you're a stephen king fan and you feel like writing at length in the comments of this about why i'm wrong and you're a Correct Intellectual, consider, instead, writing me a letter and then throwing that letter right in the garbage (either way, i'm not going to read it)

PRE-REVIEW
okay, stephen king. time to show me what all the fuss is about.
(in other words: this is my first stephen king book and i'm ready to scream in fear)

The name of the man who had written the book was Paul Sheldon. He recognized it as his own with no surprise. 鈥楽idewinder, Colorado,鈥� she said when he was finally able to ask the question. 鈥楳y name is Annie Wilkes. And I am -鈥�
鈥業 know,鈥� he said. 鈥榊ou鈥檙e my number-one fan鈥�
鈥榊es,鈥� she said, smiling. 鈥楾hat鈥檚 just what I am鈥�
Successful author Paul Sheldon has decided to transition from writing his popular romance series featuring Misery Chastain to publishing a crime fiction novel. After completing the manuscript, Paul, drunk and elated makes a snap decision to drive, instead of fly, back to New York City. Unfortunately for Paul the severe snow storm heading his way has other plans and Paul ends up in a serious car accident.
On her way home from purchasing livestock feed, Annie Wilkes (Paul鈥檚 number one fan!) rescues Paul from the scene of the accident. Annie takes Paul back to her remote home, feeds him copious amounts of pain medication and refuses to take him to the hospital despite his broken and mangled legs.
Days pass and Annie finally gets her hands on the latest installment in the Misery Chastain series. But when Annie discovers that Paul has killed off her beloved Misery she becomes blind with rage. She holds Paul prisoner while forcing him to write a new book. One that brings Misery back to life.
I don鈥檛 know how to describe what I鈥檓 feeling right now. The closest I can get, is how I imagine one would feel being run over by a truck and then dragged 5 kilometers down the road鈥�..but in a good way??
This is an explosive novel, there is no denying that. The reason I believe this story is so powerful, is because of its plausibility. The concrete certainty that the acts narrated, can, and do, happen in real life. Stephen King has painted a deeply disturbing picture with captivating characters whose psychology is so deeply analyzed throughout the course of the book, that I felt 100% inside their heads. This is why I love Stephen King. No other author can do that to me.
I loved every second of this book. F鈥檌ng brilliant!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
Na madrugada quente e sebosa do dia 8 de fevereiro do calend谩rio gregoriano, fazendo a meleca de 24 graus, ao lado de sua esbelta e dengosa esposa, deitado horizontalmente, editheus, homem fenotipicamente branco de 27 anos finaliza com dores emocionais o livro Misery by Stephen King.
Posso explanar com precis茫o que esta obra se resume a uma faca cutucando uma ferida exposta sem a presen莽a de relaxantes musculares. Durante toda a leitura de meus olhos castanhos sem lentes de contato e com alto grau de miopia, senti um grande desconforto agonizante que precedia got铆culas de 谩gua deslizando a pele superior da minha face frontal. Tive muita reluta em ler este livro devido ao alto n铆vel detalhista do tio Stephen, mas garanto a voc锚, pessoa com capacidade de leitura e acesso a internet, que essa caracter铆stica apenas aflora ainda mais os momentos agoniantes.
Ponto positivo que tamb茅m prendeu este jovem leitor quase calvo devido ao hereditarismo, foi a presen莽a de cap铆tulos curtos, que facilitam minha dificuldade de dar aten莽茫o 脿s senten莽as formadas por letras do alfabeto portugu锚s.
Eu clamo perante a sua pessoa que pegue seus dedos posicionados nas m茫os ligadas ao bra莽o e tronco, que leia este livro, 茅 uma hist贸ria que com certeza agrada todo tipo de leitor.
Stephen King 茅 nada mais que um g锚nio, merecedor dos lend谩rios 5 edilikes, uma obra prima que com certeza deixar谩 marcas em minha exist锚ncia. Recomendo muito para voc锚 que procura uma obra de f谩cil leitura com profundidade e detalhismo que nos fazem ficar destrambelhado a cada chapter.

Welcome to the fan club of nightmares, where Annie Wilkes reigns supreme.
Author, Paul Sheldon鈥檚 biggest fan Annie takes her devotion to a whole new level in which King digs deep into the darker corners of obsessive fandom and the human psyche.
Possibly my favourite Stephen King book I鈥檝e read (thus far). Movie is also a worthy adaptation.

To celebrate completing a novel, writer Paul Sheldon goes on a champagne-fueled drive in the Rocky mountains. He winds up in a near fatal car crash, but never fear. He's rescued by Annie Wilkes, his #1 fan...
I watched the film version of Misery in those antediluvian days before 欧宝娱乐, hell, before the Internet, and decided to finally read the novel when it showed up on my BookGorilla email one day. It was $2.99 very well spent.
Misery is a tale of obsession, addiction, and obsession. I wrote "obsession" twice but it's a such a big theme I thought it was justified. Annie Wilkes is obsessed with her favorite series of books starring Misery Chastain, written by that dirty birdie Paul Sheldon. Paul is obsessed with finishing the book Annie has demanded of him and probably addicted to writing. Also to codeine.
I've said it before but I'll say it again. If Stephen King wasn't addicted to scaring the bodily fluids out of people, he'd be a literary writer of some renown. The guy can flat out write. Just because he cranks out a best seller more often than most of us go to the dentist doesn't mean he's the real deal.
The scariest horror stories are the ones that could actually happen and Misery is one of those. Who among us hasn't had visions of being held captive when driving through a remote locale? Annie is so much more than the scene-chewing maniac she could have been. She has dimension and believes she's in the right, which is the mark of a great villain. Her background is very fleshed out and my heart sank as I learned her past along with Paul. How the hell was he going to escape that monster?
Paul's journey is painful, both to him and to the reader, thanks to King's skill. I had to make sure my foot was still attached a couple times. Annie puts him through hell and he finally gives her a taste of her own medicine but the ending is far from happily ever after.
As is usually the case, the book was a notch better than the movie. I've been easy with the 5's this year but I'll give this one a cockadoodie 5 out of 5 stars just the same.

"I am in trouble here. This woman is not right."
Paul Sheldon, the best-selling writer of the Misery novels, finds himself rescued from a car accident by his number one fan, Annie Wilkes. As the former nurse takes care of him in her home, she finds out he killed off Misery in his latest novel and decides to keep Paul as her prisoner as he writes Misery back to life.
I read a number of Stephen King books pre-bookstagram and pre-goodreads, therefore I have never written a proper review for these books. Revisiting these books through readalongs and listening to audiobooks while running or at the gym gives me the opportunity to do so! Unfortunately when I revisited Misery it was in the form of the audiobook... and I was not a fan (and most certainly NOT its number 1 fan). The narrator did such a brilliant job of conveying the truly insane character that is Annie Wilkes, but otherwise it was very monotonous and boring at times. BUT I know that's not really the case for the book itself.
Similar to Gerald's Game, the events of this book primarily take place in one location. Ordinarily that would bore the life out of me, but King has this ability to grab your attention and keep you hooked anyway. That being said, there are still some boring parts in this book - but they are very few and far between. It is literally quite impossible to look away during the interactions between Annie and poor Paul Sheldon. Anytime Annie is on the scene, she steals the show - it's those parts where it's just Paul's meandering thoughts that I would tune out of sometimes. This is much better portrayed in the movie for me.
Something else that the movie benefits from is cutting out the parts where Paul is writing his new Misery book. I honestly have never cared less about anything in my entire life. I just DO NOT care. This is fair enough when you're reading the book and can just quickly skim over these parts - however, this is much more difficult when listening to the audiobook. I quite honestly feel like this is one of those rare scenarios in which the movie is much superior to the book. It takes the GREAT story that King tells and trims it down to a really effective movie.
Annie Wilkes is one of King's most iconic characters and the story is one of his most terrifying, because there are no scary monsters or supernatural creatures, Annie is all human and 100% crazy. She also brings a lot of humour to the story (for me anyway), I can't help but crack up when she goes on rants about different things. And the scene with the axe... one of the most nail-biting, stressful and cringeworthy events I've ever read in a book.
I really like Misery, but I don't seem to regard it as highly as lot of other Constant Readers. I can't pinpoint what is exactly, I just know it wouldn't make my top 20 list. I guess I never really connected with it on a personal level, and so many other King books DO make me FEEL so many emotions, so... it just slides down the list a bit. I do think it would be a great starting point for new King fans, as it isn't particularly scary, it's more of a psychological thriller. A nice way to introduce yourself to Mr King's works.
3.5 stars.
Paul Sheldon, the best-selling writer of the Misery novels, finds himself rescued from a car accident by his number one fan, Annie Wilkes. As the former nurse takes care of him in her home, she finds out he killed off Misery in his latest novel and decides to keep Paul as her prisoner as he writes Misery back to life.
I read a number of Stephen King books pre-bookstagram and pre-goodreads, therefore I have never written a proper review for these books. Revisiting these books through readalongs and listening to audiobooks while running or at the gym gives me the opportunity to do so! Unfortunately when I revisited Misery it was in the form of the audiobook... and I was not a fan (and most certainly NOT its number 1 fan). The narrator did such a brilliant job of conveying the truly insane character that is Annie Wilkes, but otherwise it was very monotonous and boring at times. BUT I know that's not really the case for the book itself.
Similar to Gerald's Game, the events of this book primarily take place in one location. Ordinarily that would bore the life out of me, but King has this ability to grab your attention and keep you hooked anyway. That being said, there are still some boring parts in this book - but they are very few and far between. It is literally quite impossible to look away during the interactions between Annie and poor Paul Sheldon. Anytime Annie is on the scene, she steals the show - it's those parts where it's just Paul's meandering thoughts that I would tune out of sometimes. This is much better portrayed in the movie for me.
Something else that the movie benefits from is cutting out the parts where Paul is writing his new Misery book. I honestly have never cared less about anything in my entire life. I just DO NOT care. This is fair enough when you're reading the book and can just quickly skim over these parts - however, this is much more difficult when listening to the audiobook. I quite honestly feel like this is one of those rare scenarios in which the movie is much superior to the book. It takes the GREAT story that King tells and trims it down to a really effective movie.

Isn鈥檛 it so good that you have a devoted fan encourage you to write a new book of the series that made you famous? And she also gives you free health service?
Well, Misery was one of the most disturbing plot lines KING crafted. Most of the people remember sweet Kathy Bates鈥� transition to very scary, obsessive fan Annie Wilkes. That performance earned her a golden statue that highly deserved. In Broadway Laurie Metcalf gave life to the complex, dangerous, thrilling character but she wasn鈥檛 as great as dear Kathy.
And KING collaborated with Sam Shaw to create Hulu series Castle Rock to show us the early days of Annie: younger, a single mother, trying to start a fresh life in the wrong place at the wrong time. The series also give us the background story of Annie help us understand she鈥檚 not born as villanelle, she turns into one later!
I enjoyed to read this book that tells us how far fans can confuse thin line between real life and the illusionary worlds the authors created! True obsession, confusion, violence, claustrophobic tones, the brilliant characterization allure you!
It鈥檚 gripping and effective story just like other works of the author! But it鈥檚 really spin tingling and so disturbing! You may forget the name of famous author Paul Shelton! But I am so sure you never forget cold blooded villanelle Annie Wilkes!

Two Sundays ago our family experienced a rather harrowing emergency situation. I'm thrilled to report that tragedy was averted; I'm less excited to share that my arm was broken in the process.
A broken arm is a perfectly acceptable price to pay for a whole family, but it is also a painful pain in the ass. And, because I'm a classic overachiever, I broke my arm in the 鈥渕ost painful way possible,鈥� and I have been relegated to bone broth, limited mobility (to prevent the need for surgery) and left handed, one finger typing (damn it!).
As my convalescence began (10 long days ago), I found myself not only in pain and discomfort, but surprisingly more and more weepy as well. Melancholic, I believe they call it. So not my norm. A chipper friend quickly became flustered by my new, dark voice and demeanor and contributed that she bring me some 鈥渦pbeat romantic comedies and light, humorous reads from the library.鈥�
鈥淔uck that,鈥� I cheerfully responded. 鈥淚'm reading Stephen King's Misery.鈥�
Misery, in case you crawled out from under a rock or were just born, is one of Mr. King's most famous novels. Though I am a devotee of the King (and a total literary snob, by the way), I have always avoided his 鈥渉orror鈥� novels. I had assumed a 鈥渂een there, done that,鈥� attitude with Misery, having watched the movie. But, I'm so happy I finally read it. As usual, the book is an entirely different experience.
The basic premise, without any overt plot spoilers is this: A 42-year-old, twice divorced novelist named Paul Sheldon, who has become famous for a series he created (but loathes) called Misery, finishes a new manuscript (in a hotel about 15 minutes from my house!), and celebrates his original, not Misery related writing achievement by drinking copious amounts of champagne. He mistakenly heads out, drunk, into a winter storm and badly crashes his car on a mountain road near the fictional town of Sidewinder, Colorado.
Paul is badly injured. Left on his own in the storm, without immediate medical attention, he'd have most likely died. Lucky for him, a former nurse discovers his recently crashed car, brings him home and nurses him back to consciousness. When Paul 鈥渨akes鈥� to his new reality, he is grateful to the nurse, the indomitable Annie Wilkes, but he is terrified and confused when he sees his mangled legs. Why hasn't she called for help?
Turns out Annie's a real psychopath. She's his 鈥渘umber one fan,鈥� and no outside help will be needed for Paul's poor legs, which are pointing every which way but loose.
Mr. King introduces us to Annie:
She was a big woman who, other than the large but unwelcoming swell of the cardigan sweater she always wore, seemed to have no feminine curves at all鈥攖here was no defined roundness of hip or buttock or even calf below the endless succession of wool skirts she wore in the house (she retired to her unseen bedroom to put on jeans before doing outside chores). Her body was big but not generous. There was a feeling about her of clots and roadblocks rather than welcoming orifices or even open spaces, areas of hiatus.
Paul quickly realizes he's 鈥渋n a jam,鈥� but he also mistakenly believes himself to be in the worst mental and physical pain of his life: There comes a point when the very discussion of pain becomes redundant. No one knows there is pain the size of this in the world. No one. It is like being possessed by demons. (I hear you, Paul!).
It doesn't take Paul long to understand that the current pain he's in is child's play compared to what will come. He's barely begun his journey with Annie before he recognizes that she was a woman full of tornadoes waiting to happen, and if he had been a farmer observing a sky which looked the way Annie's face looked right now, he would have at once gone to collect his family and herd them into the storm cellar.
But Paul doesn't have family. Not really. He's got 2 ex-wives, no kids, no siblings, and parents who are only mentioned in the past tense. He's a loner, a lonely writer who wonders if anyone out there will even care enough to conduct a search for him.
And here's the meat for me: I fell in love with him.
Paul's sadness, his journey, the span of his suffering and grief are so tenable, so credible, too. We go deep into his psyche, learn his foibles and flaws and get taken along on some keen writing lessons, too.
Mr. Sheldon quickly earned a place in heart as my second favorite 鈥淜ing character鈥� (second only to Jake Epping from 11/22/63.
So, you may be wondering. . . how gruesome does this get?
Gruesome, but only one scene made me truly sick to my stomach.
And, you may be wondering. . . Five stars, Julie? Really? Is it really that good?
Yes. Other than one cheesy lag in the middle, when the reader gets taken down Memory Lane, and most of Annie Wilkes's backstory is too conveniently spoon-fed to us, it's that good.
It's not 11/22/63, and it's not Lonesome Dove, but storytelling doesn't get much better than this, nor does it need to.

Misery was the next book on my re-read list whilst on my journey to reading all SK books in publication order. Easily one of my favourite books of all time and one of the best Stephen King books I've ever read.
The book starts so quickly and it's quite disorientating we follow our main character Paul who is in an accident and is slipping in and out of consciousnesses. We quickly realise that our main characters 'saviour' isn't what she seems. I think it is described perfectly in this line 'I am in trouble here. This woman is not right' wow what an understatement.
Paul is an author and we get to see into his mind quite intimately which is fascinating, Paul's imagination is both beautiful and terrifying. It does feel as if Stephen King is writing about himself at times because it feels so personal. If someone told me this had really happened to SK I think I would believe him - he describes everything with such clarity and emotion.
The descriptions of Annie are so amazing, her physical descriptions are very well done and you can come up with a clear picture in your mind. I think that the way SK describes her mentally though is perfection, its scary and horrifying but sometimes I can't help but feel sorry for Annie and wonder why she is the way she is.
The writing in this book is some of Stephen Kings best, it is so unnerving and suspenseful I never wanted to put this book down, I never knew what was coming or how it was all going to end. I can see why this is SK's biggest fear. He often has ending that fans don't agree with - I mean this could really happen to him, people do crazy things when there your number one fan and you do something that they don't agree with.
We also get to read a book inside a book which I think is so much fun! I would absolutely read Misery Returns. I don't want to go into spoilers, but some of the body horror in this is amazing and so vivid. If I had to recommend one Stephen King book it would be this one for sure.

I've been saying for the last year, since I originally read this, that I would come back and write a full review, but honestly, the immediate post-read reaction I wrote below sums it up pretty well. I absolutely freaking loved everything about Misery and I think Annie is one of the most terrifying villains I've ever read in my life. As someone who doesn't tend to enjoy most of King's longer works, please let me know in a comment if you have any recommendations for books of his that are closer to this one in length and overall feeling!

me, a week ago: I dunno man I've tried a few King books and collections and maybe they're just not meant for me
also me, a week ago: I'm gonna give Misery a try but I'm not expecting too much tbh

My whole life people have had a hard time handling my
I am also ridiculed for my obsession with Stephen King. I find his writing to be nothing short of amazing and people who aren't fans of his just think he writes 鈥渢hat horror and gore crap鈥�. Surely a serious reader can鈥檛 be a King fan. According to a lot of people I know it works the same way when flipped around- a King fan cannot be a serious reader. Well, I will tell you I am both. I am a King fan and and a serious reader.
But, I鈥檓 not always a serious reviewer.
For you all I have compiled a list. This list is my defense:
Reasons Why I鈥檓 NOT the Real Life Annie Wilkes
1.) I would never harm Stephen King in any way, shape or form. Not intentionally anyway- I may accidentally harm him by tripping over my own feet in a rush to get to him and crash into him causing him to fall through a window. Or I might tackle him from behind in an attempt to hug him fiercely. I might even bite him just to see if he鈥檚 real. BUT I would not hurt him.
2.) I have never killed anyone. (I think legally I am required to say that鈥�)
3.)I don鈥檛 have an unlimited supply of any type of narcotic. I have a cousin who鈥檚 a doctor, but he鈥檚 of the Straight and Narrow variety.
4.) I don鈥檛 have鈥�..
lapses in my thoughts.
5.) I understand the severity of an addiction and understand fully that King has struggled with it in his past, therefore I wouldn't get him hooked on a painkiller to make him completely dependent on me.
6.) I wouldn鈥檛 want to have Stephen King in my home. Don鈥檛 get me wrong, I have a beautiful home, but his house is way fucking cooler. I mean- gargoyles on a wrought iron gate that looks like a spiderweb?! HOW fucking awesome.
7.) Being that I want to be in his house so bad, I would just like to sneak in a back window and hide in a cupboard and live in his house without him knowing for as long as possible. I鈥檇 sneak a shower in his shower, smell his clothes, lie on his side of the bed, lick his typewriter鈥ou know those kinds of things.
8.) I want to be friends with Stephen King- not make him fear for his life. I think if he were to meet me he鈥檇 be completely charmed by my glowing personality and welcome me as one of his own by saying: 鈥淲elcome to the family, kid!鈥� or something along those lines.
9.) I鈥檇 order take-out instead of making him eat all that soup in the event that he was in my home. We could eat Chinese food while watching old horror flicks together. BFFFL.
10.) My final point- my name is Stepheny, not Annie, so I can鈥檛 be her.
All around this was a great read- you should totally check it out.
And for the record, Stephen King, you have nothing to be afraid of.
Signed,
Your Number 1 Fan.

Novela muy recomendada por los lectores de Stephen King.
Empieza con una premisa original: un escritor de renombre est谩 postrado con las piernas rotas en casa de una admiradora, despu茅s de haber sufrido un accidente de coche.
Lo que en principio parece algo bueno, se convierte poco a poco en una pesadilla para el escritor.
Me ha gustado bastante la novela. Los dos personajes son muy potentes, sobre todo, Annie Wilkes, la fan谩tica admiradora de Paul Sheldon. El principio me ha resultado algo lento y repetitivo, pero he devorado la 煤ltima parte con ansia.
Es la segunda novela que leo de King y no me arrepiento de haber empezado con este autor. Muy entretenido y bien escrito. A veces, estos adjetivos no siempre van juntos.
Mucho se ha escrito de esta novela, que tiene, tambi茅n, su versi贸n f铆lmica.

A highly recommended novel for readers of Stephen King.
It begins with an original premise: a renowned writer is bedridden with broken legs at the home of an admirer, after having suffered a car accident.
What at first seems like a good thing gradually turns into a nightmare for the writer.
I quite enjoyed the novel. The two characters are very powerful, especially Annie Wilkes, Paul Sheldon's fanatical fan. I found the beginning a bit slow and repetitive, but I devoured the last part with eagerness.
This is the second novel I've read by King and I don't regret having started with this author. Very entertaining and well written. Sometimes these adjectives don't always go together.
Much has been written about this novel, which also has a film version.

It took me longer than usual to get into this King book, which was largely down to the writing style. I felt it was different than his usual style (which is the one I adore so much). I had the same problem when reading The Shining. It was just lacking this "special something", and thus, I felt disconnected from the characters until about a halfway through.
However, all the stuff that was happening up until this point still had an effect on me and absolutely terrified me. And then came the big shift and I got really into it. As soon as I got to know the two main characters better, I got so excited and couldn't stop reading! It all got so interesting after a certain revelation and I was so relieved, because up until then, I had the feeling that I was missing out on whatever makes other people love this book so much.
After reaching the halfway point, the genre "Psychological Horror" was truly embodied. There is just something about Annie Wilkes that is constantly frightening, no matter what this woman does. After reading that King wrote her as the personification of cocaine, I totally understand why she is so terrifying, even in the (rare) moments when she is acting nice. I wish I had the right qualifications to analyze this book and its characters on a psychological level, because I bet it would incredibly interesting.
So even though it took me a while to be enthralled by the book, it is still definitely worth a read!
I'd also like to mention how much I appreciated the little snippets of the actual "Misery"-novels that were included in the story. It added a lot more depth and realism.

I know I have an unpopular opinion on this one, but I thought this was just okay. I have a weird relationship with Stephen King books, I tend to either LOVE them or feel very meh about them, and unfortunately this one left me feeling very meh. The concept of of this book is great, and I love the idea of it: a huge fan of this author finds him in a car wreck and kidnaps him, forcing him to write the next book in a series about a girl named Misery which he has previously ended, and she's forcing him to re-write her story. Annie is an incredibly fascinating character to read about, she's one of those classic psychotic characters like Norman Bates or Hannibal Lectur. She was entertaining to read about, but I feel like because this book is told from Paul, the author's POV, it felt like it dragged at times for me.
I struggled through the first 50% of this book, I found it very slow and boring. Maybe this is because I read thrillers all the time, it's one of my favorite genres, but this book just didn't really thrill me the way I wanted it to. The story got a lot better towards the end and I really ended up liking the last third of it a lot, but it still isn't my favorite from Stephen King, and I guess I just went into it with too high of expectations.Pet Semetary remains as my favorite Stephen King novel. This was my buddy read for the month of November with my friends Jacqueline and Zoe!

Wow! What a gruesomely disturbing ride Mr King! I must admit, I watched Misery years ago, and I remember not thinking much of it, as it didn't really make me squeamish. In the case of "Misery" I think the book was better, and it took the term "Fucked up" to a new height.
Although this was a great read, I found I didn't love this as much as Pet Sematary, but it was still classic King writing, and it kept me pretty unsettled, until the very end.
And, talking of unsettled, lets talk about Annie Wilkes. What a woman! She is probably one of the most disturbingly crazy female characters in fiction. I find her layered, and by that I mean that she's a real mixed bag. You really never know what you're going to get. I cannot say I LIKE her character, because, lets face it, she's pretty evil, but she is interesting. The way she lives her life for one. She doesn't fit in to society, so she distanced herself from it on her little farm with her animals- until she met Paul Sheldon. And that is when shit hits the fan, and we learn, incredibly quickly actually, that nobody fucks with Annie Wilkes.
I found myself rather on edge with this, eager to know what stunt Annie might pull next, especially if Paul made her angry. There was one scene, and I found myself thinking " Wow, he's not seriously written THAT, has he?" Obviously, the answer to that, was a yes. It's King. There is nothing he won't write about, especially when his words are able to crawl into the very depths of your mind, and set up home there for a while. This was another grand novel from King, and I'm itching to read my next!

鈥淸I]t was still a long time before he was finally able to break the dried scum of saliva that had glued his lips together and croak out 鈥榃here am I?鈥� to the woman who sat by his bed with a book in her hands. The name of the man who had written the book was Paul Sheldon. He recognized it as his own with no surprise.
鈥楽idewinder, Colorado,鈥� she said when he was finally able to ask the question. 鈥楳y name is Annie Wilkes. And I am 鈥� 鈥�
鈥業 know,鈥� he said. 鈥榊ou鈥檙e my number-one fan.鈥�
鈥榊es,鈥� she said, smiling. 鈥楾hat鈥檚 just what I am鈥︹€欌€�
- Stephen King, Misery
Stephen King鈥檚 Misery was published all the way back in 1987. It was later made into a near-classic movie that won Kathy Bates an Academy Award. It has been parodied, referenced on The Simpsons, made into memes, and otherwise entered the bloodstream of pop culture, from which it has never left. For all that, having just read it for the first time, it still feels fresh, surprising, and audacious.
It is also absolutely iconic.
Only the briefest of summaries is in order, not just because of Misery鈥檚 ubiquity, but because it is so devilishly simple. This is not a sprawling King epic with extensive world building, intricate supernatural systems, or complex mythologies. This is 鈥� to use television parlance 鈥� a bottle episode, with almost all the action taking place inside a single bedroom.
That bedroom belongs to a former nurse named Annie Wilkes. Annie is a huge fan of a series of historical romance novels featuring a protagonist named Misery Chastain. The author of those books is Paul Sheldon who 鈥� despite his fantastic success 鈥� feels creatively stifled, and has decided to kill off Misery and write a 鈥渟erious鈥� novel. Just after finishing this new opus, Paul gets drunk, hops in his car, and ends up in a wreck near Sidewinder, Colorado (a place familiar to fans of The Shining). He is rescued 鈥� in a coincidence that is never dwelled upon 鈥� by superfan Annie. At first Annie seems well meaning. Then she discovers that Paul has killed Misery, a bit of news that she takes poorly. Annie essentially takes Paul hostage and forces him to write a new Misery book, one that brings the character back to life without any narrative cheating.
King tells the story in the third-person, from the limited perspective of Paul. Much has been read into this character, as it contains more than a few autobiographical details. Like King, Paul feels that he had been relegated to a specific genre, and yearns to stretch his literary muscles. Like King (at the time), Paul has some rather serious substance abuse issues. It is impossible not to feel like many of Paul鈥檚 beliefs, especially about the nature of fandom, is King talking 鈥� and, frankly, whining 鈥� to his own audience. One is even tempted to say that in making Annie 鈥� unstable, possibly deranged, and degenerating 鈥� the villain, King is borderline insulting the masses who line up to purchase every new title.
Of course, a lot of what gives Misery its punch is the specificity of Paul鈥檚 observations about the writing life. Generally, I dislike it when writers focus on writers. It feels too much like navel-gazing. King comes close to that line here, especially when he hammers at the notion that Paul is suffering 鈥� quite literally 鈥� for his craft. Still, I liked King鈥檚 venom, especially since Paul is otherwise very much a stock figure from his multiverse: glib; given to lengthy internal monologues; imbued with an encyclopedic knowledge of rock 鈥榥 roll, movies, and television; and prone to laughing out loud at jokes that are simply not funny.
Facing off against Paul is Annie, one of the more memorable baddies of King鈥檚 career. Unlike some of King鈥檚 other famed antagonists, such as the Overlook in The Shining, the nightmare-shifting clown from It, and the burial ground in Pet Sematary, Annie is a human being, not a mystical entity. She has no extraordinary powers or connection to dark magic. She is not a vampire or werewolf or alien. Aside from some rudimentary surgical abilities, Annie鈥檚 main talent is an absolute conviction towards seeing things through to the end. Though we never get inside her head, King does good work in tracing an interesting arc, one in which Annie is given shifting dimensions. That鈥檚 not to say that she is nuanced, only that she is not pure evil. If one wanted, one might even find some sympathy for a woman whose crumbling mental state seems beyond her ability to control. In any event, Annie is frightening and unforgettable.
Misery is psychological horror, bounded by the physical reality of the real world. For much of its length, King relies on tension over every other element. Ultimately, though, King is King, and things get gross. Like many of his vintage novels, Misery walks right up to the line of bad taste, pauses for a moment, and then gleefully hops over. Even with foreknowledge of some of the things that happen, I was still surprised at the graphic, forensic detail that King deploys in executing his set pieces. The violence is limited, the body count relatively low, but there are still buckets of blood spilled in these pages.
This is often cited among King鈥檚 upper-tier works. While this is a defensible ranking, I鈥檒l admit that Misery is not among my favorites. The main problem is that I simply didn鈥檛 like Paul Sheldon all that much. Since the whole project rests on the question of whether Paul escapes or remains captive, lives or dies, that鈥檚 sort of an issue. I also had some quibbles with the pacing. Normally 鈥� as many of you know 鈥� I am in the bigger-is-better camp when it comes to novels. But in this instance, the 368-page Misery (trade paperback edition) feels a bit bloated. A lot of this comes from King鈥檚 puckish decision to excerpt long sections of Paul鈥檚 new Misery entry. This book-within-a-book conceit is funny at first, then quickly outstays its welcome. In short 鈥� pun intended 鈥� Misery might have packed more punch had it been a bit more economical and efficient. Finally, King relies on quite a few cheap tricks and jump scares, especially towards the end, so that the climax of Misery starts to mirror one of the lesser Halloween or Friday the 13th sequels.
These criticisms are rather minor, especially given King鈥檚 propensity for creating enduring images. It is not surprising that so many of his novels have been turned into movies, because he is a cinematic writer. Even confining his tapestry to a small room in an isolated farmhouse, with a dramatically pared-down dramatis personae, King effortlessly creates a tableau that is vivid, grotesque, and unforgettable. Misery could have felt like a writing exercise from the Iowa Writer鈥檚 Workshop, an experiment in minimalist settings and cast lists, something approaching a two-person play. Instead, in King鈥檚 assured hands, it is another minor masterpiece.

Stephen King is an author whose books I always enjoy and Misery was not an exception. I really liked the first part of the book, I founded it very compelling and fascinating, others were a little bit disappointing but I still enjoyed reading them. In addition, it was very psychologically heavy book so it took me a long time to read, but on the other hand writing style really fitted the story.
It was good book, but not my favorite.

Have you ever wanted to be famous? This book might change your mind because you might end up with some pretty crazy fans!
Original rating: Four Stars
2022 Reread rating: Four Stars (maybe 4.5)
I cannot remember specifically how long ago I read this, but Misery is one of those King books that is never far away from my thoughts. I would even risk saying that it is probably one of King鈥檚 most iconic and pop culturally relevant books due to the 1990 movie with James Caan and Kathy Bates. It is because of that that it is one of those King stories you know even if you never even read it. (The other one in my mind most like that is Carrie).
This is a truly suspenseful book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Some parts are a bit repetitive, but that seems to be more to drag out the suspense than anything else. Also, it is one of those books you might find yourself cheering, booing, and/or screaming out loud at as you read.
Often, in my reviews, I mention whether I think first time King readers would enjoy/if the book is a good place for new King readers to start. With the plot, you will find a few iconic King tropes (mainly the main character being a writer) and it is not one of his sprawling books (like The Stand or IT) that might be a little too much to swallow if you are not already a fan. I have known some who have read very few King books but have read Misery and they enjoyed it. So, I think it could be a decent place to start if you are looking to get into his works.
