Never gonna look mop water the same way again ( )

Misery is a book that I've read many times since I was a teenager. My paperback copy is so ragged that I'm afraid it's going to fall to pieces soon, so I ended up buying a kindle copy for this read.

I love so much of this book. How Paul's writing process is described, as a hole opening in the paper that he can see the story through. How Paul's pain is described, as pilings at the beach that are always there, but pain medication is the tide that can cover them for a time. How Paul's imagination and memories are interwoven with his present. Paul's dependence on and hatred for Annie, and Annie's changeable moods and her strange love/hate for Paul. It's really a great book, and this is one of those times when the movie based on it is amazing, too.

A warning though, Misery was written in the 1980's and, like many books from that time, it has a few unseemly and uncomfortable parts. ( )

#750 in our old book database. Not rated. ( )

Altamente recomendado, una historia impecable del genio Stephen King. Engancha desde el primer momento, aunque debo admitir que en ciertos momentos de la narrativa de "Misery" me resultaba un tanto tedioso. No obstante, es una parte esencial de la novela para comprender la obsesión de Annie. Un clásico del terror muy digno de recomendación. ( )

An absolute chore to get through and quite literally misery inducing. Shame because I've come to like King. ( )
