Paul Sheldon. He's a bestselling novelist who has finally met his biggest fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes and she is more than a rabid reader — she is Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house.

Now Annie wants Paul to write his greatest work — just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an ax. And if they don't work, she can get really nasty.

The horror that won't let go At first I watched the movie and was very impressed by what I saw. But when I read Stephen King's book, I couldn't find a moment to stop. This is an amazing work that takes your breath away, makes you read yourself, and chains you to its lines. The heroes are the antipodes. A man is a writer who got into an accident, and his salvation is a fan who holds a man against his will. All this is aggravated by serious injuries that do not allow the man to confront the kidnapper. The reflections of the main character are very strongly prescribed. Reading a book, it seems that you find yourself next to him, literally climbing into his brain. The details are spelled out with the smallest precision. And it helps to immerse yourself in the world of the main character, which instantly turned into hell. The main character scares with her behavior, becoming either her best friend or her worst enemy. She's really scary. Misery is one of the most interesting and successful books by Stephen King, the master of horror, who will make you see the world in dark colors of horror. 10 out of 10
