Advantages: stephen king is always the best, it's full of suspence, Sheldon is a great character

Disadvantages: The return of Misery is a bit stupid, It's w

Misery is a very well-done book of S.King because you can view the point of view of a writer. In fact the protagonist is the writer Paul Sheldon who has become famous with some books of the heroine Misery. Bored of his creature, He makes her die in his last book. What a big mistake!

He has an accident and is found by a mad and obsessed women who is also a Misery's fan. She takes him to her home and, after reading the death of Misery, she forces him to write a sequel "The return of Misery".

The book is really frightening. Imagine: you're alone, you can't move your legs, you're completely at mercy of a mad, ugly and fanatic woman, nobody can hear your cries when your "nurse" begins cutting your limbs. Scaring, isn't it?

Annie, Misery's first fan, is like a divine judge who establishes what is good and what is bad and applies his law. The victim of this divine justice is the poor Paul Sheldon who, like a kafkian hero, is completely impotent.

The reader can assist directly at the making of the book (which in my opinion is a bit stupid) while Sheldon writes it in a status of incoscience.
