Misery - A book review

"Misery"is a psychological horror novel by Stephen King that I've recently read. I enjoyed reading this book a lot. It is a genius thriller which keeps you reading more and more. It's a well appreciated book, which is very exciting because you can't predict what will happen next.

The entire plot is centered on only 2 main characters.
Paul Sheldon, who is the author of a best-selling series called "Misery" and "Annie Wilkes", the woman who kidnapped him after he had his car accident. Annie Wilkes is an ex-nurse, who is a big fan of the Misery series.

When Annie found out that Paul "killed" Misery in his last book, she was furious. She tortured him and made him write another book of Misery. She kept giving him pain killers and he got addicted to them. Annie was crazy. She kept Paul alive until he finished his book , which was not an easy task.

In my opinion, this book is definitely worth reading. It is just fascinating to get into Annie's head and try to understand her wicked mind. This book is one of Stephen's king best novels. Simply enough, he doesn't need more than 2 characters to write a brilliant novel.

Very good work. (93) Daphna
