I'm slowly but surely getting through my Stephen King collection. I predicted this to be a 5 star King read for me.
~ Personally, I love King's descriptiveness when it comes to his characters that have gone mad or are slowly going mad, whether its from grief, torture, or declining mental health. I think the descent into madness and decline in mental health of Paul throughout Misery was well written, considering everything he goes through in such a short time period. You have his number one fan, Annie Wilkes, who's a crazed fan of Paul's to begin with and you'd think it would stop there but uh yeahhh no. She's an ex-nurse for a reason lol Her form of hospice is controlled substances and abuse.
~ This book doesn't get boring bouncing between two characters within a confined space. You get to know the author Paul Sheldon and his work Misery well. You also get to know Annie Wilkes between her mood swings and Paul's discoveries of her. You have body horror and psychological horror. But, before reading - be mindful of content warnings.
~I would recommend this to King fans who haven't read Misery yet and for those who love a good psychological and body horror book. Or to those who love Misery the movie and want to read the book, it's definitely worth a read! However, this may not be a good read for everybody - content warnings below:

CW: drug abuse, addiction, violence, descriptive body horror, gore, mental abuse, physical abuse, mental illness, torture
