![]() ![]() ![]() Did I find some of the ad-hoc oddities towards the end a bit unnecessary? Perhaps. And then again.ĭid I skim the hard to read bits of the Misery sub-story? Maybe. Poor Paul Sheldon, that guy went through so much, day in day out, just when it didn’t seem like it could possibly get worse – it did. At first it felt almost as though her obsession with Paul had driven her to act out of character but as the story unravelled, and Annie’s past was revealed, the true situation became more and more horrifying with every passing day. There were so many layers to Annie, at first she seemed keen, infatuated, almost coy, then it became clear she was controlling, but that soon gave way to mean, then insane, then pure evil. Equally, I wasn’t really prepared for the depth of depravity that was the mind of Annie Wilkes – wow – she was something else! I was vaguely aware of the premise of the story, but had no idea how it ended. I mentioned to my cousin that I hadn’t read many Stephen King books and the next time I saw her she had an ancient copy of Misery clutched in her hand for me. ![]() How do you review a classic such as this?īrutal, shocking, impossible to put down. ![]()
