 ... minute you start reading the book, you are immediately sucked into the world that King creates and it keeps you interested and wanting to find out more about Paul and what will become of him. There are only two characters throughout the novel really, Annie and Paul. While I didn't really feel all that attached to Paul at the beginning, throughout I really did and kept wishing he'd escape. Annie was completely believable as a physcopathic number 1 fan, and you couldn't help but dislike her from the start as it just seem...more

Misery Why Misery - how would a title like that appeal to me? I have seen the movie some many moons ago and knew that - even though the title sounds pretty gloomy - the concept was original and clever. The movie had been very thought provoking at the time so I hoped that the book would unveil more insight and of course be an entertaining read. Stephen King Although I am very familiar with the name of the author and movies based on his books I have never considered reading any of his work. I felt like I had missed out on something special and intended putting it right. Stephen King is an accomplished writer - I was really interested to see ...  Read the complete review

To be honest this is the first novel that I have read by Stephen King. I have seen quite a few films that are based on his novels, so I thought I would give one a go in the end I decided on Misery. When the author Paul Sheldon decided to kill off Misery Chastain in his latest published novel, he had no idea what the terrible consequences of his actions would be. He wants to be rid of Misery and concentrate on what he believes are better stories so after finishing a draft of a new novel called "Fast Cars" Paul decides to head to California. However on the way there, his car crashes and he wakes up in a strange place and discovers that his ...  Read the complete review

We all here at DooYoo have had individual writers blocks. Sometimes this lasts for a few minutes but some time the frustration and despair lasts for hours or even possibly days. It's not just the plot a writer must think about but also how the characters will react in different situations or even simply just what to write about. Now imagine that you are trapped in a cabin far away from the rules and regulations of civilization and your world-renowned imagination and creativity is the only thing that can save you, but with a mental creative block, and your life at risk; the stakes are high and the frustration skyrockets. The plot is as follows and it ...  Read the complete review

Misery's Return (944 words)

Rating:

Misery is an extremely clever novel, written by the extremely bizarre Stephen King. King is not an author whose books I would choose to read, but I was loaned this one on the recommendation that I should read it because I would like it. Misery is a character in a story within the novel. Stephen King has written a whole book, 369 pages predominately about two characters, which is quite a feat. The blurb on the back of this book is very enticing and gives nothing away. Misery Chastain was dead. Paul Sheldon has just killer her - with relief, with joy. Misery made him rich: she was the heroine of a string of bestsellers. And now he wanted to get on to some real ...  Read the complete review

I am a fan of Stephen King, with Misery being one of my favourite books that he has written. It's also been adapted into a movie, which is one of his book's best adaptations in my opinion, as some have been done awfully. Misery can be found in Waterstones for around £7 and Amazon for around £2 preowned. It's centred at adults, mainly due to his style of writing and the subjects in the novel. The plot focuses around Paul Sheldon who is a bestselling author who for a long time has written books for a female audience with the main character, Misery. Little does he know that his No 1 fan Annie Wilkes will find him after a car accident in a snow storm ...  Read the complete review
