Just finished!

I just finished Misery last night, and I gotta say, this is one of my favorites. Amazing!! It kept me on the edge of my seat and wanting more. I loved it! My favorite part was when she cut off his foot. It was freaky, and awesome at the same time. What was everyone else's favorite part?

The ending. The way you think that it will all come down, and what you know if you have seen the movie. . . . they are both great, but the books just leaves you speechless.

The ending was my best bit too. I prefer the book to the film.

I think probably the ending. The bit where she sawed his foot off actually had me reading through my fingers. It's very rare that a book creeps me out that much.

Yeah, sometimes I wonder why I read this stuff... It sure is kinda creepy... For some reason I love it!

The foot thing is something that I always bring up when describing the difference in the book and movie. As you said amazingly freaky.

I loved when he burned the pages in front of her and she went berserk. Kept seeing her coming. Have you seen the film with James Caan and Kathy Bates? It's a cracker!

Yes, I have seen most of it, on TV, but not the beginning hour or so of it. And yes, the page burning was a good part. Also, when Paul goes to get the pills when Annie is out, that kept me on the edge wondering when she was coming back, and if she was going to catch him... King sue does know how to tell a story.

Never has a book got me to the edge of seat before. This was the 1st SK book i read it alst year. stunning! the part where he tries to get the pills, OMG and the bit where the cops arrive!
The film is just as good, but needed to be more grusome lime the book :D

I´ve a got a doubt, in the spanish translation she cuts the foot off, but in the movie she smashes it with a hammer, what´s the original stuff???, I´ve got an English friend who says that she smashes it too in the English version :S.

I love Misery, the novel (as well as the movie). My favorite part of the novel is due to the hilarity I experience when Sheldon is trying to write the compelled Misery sequel and the typewriter keeps throwing letters; as well as the description of the imposed story itself, because I enjoy sK's description of his protagonists' dreams, daydreams, imaginations, invoked creative wanderings.

[Girl87]

The ending was best part in the book. I read this 3 years ago and planned to re-read Misery soon. Because it was a great book.

[GNTLGNT]

For my big old self, it's when Paul is taking his "trip" outside the room while Annie is gone. Man, that one even made me sweat!
