Misery by Stephen King
4.0

I FINALLY FINISHED!! *i’ll write up an actual review later*

Guys, this book has been on my tbr for so long and I honestly never thought I’d finish it but here we are! I finished and overall I enjoyed it! It’s my dad’s favorite book so he’s been telling me about it for years and I’m glad I finally got around to it! First of all, this book has a great storyline! It’s creepy and unsettling and stressful! The imagery is wonderfully done and there were parts that made me so uncomfortable that I had to stop reading for a bit but I also just needed to know what was going to happen! My biggest issue with the book and why I think it took me so long is that the first half of the book is really slow and sometimes it just felt so wordy and I wanted it to just get to the point. But I also think that’s kind of the point? Like it’s supposed to make you feel uncomfortable but I’ve realized that I’m a big dialogue person and most of this book is Paul’s thoughts
