Is Misery Under Rated

[rev. rick]

Misery is also one of my faves. I love the way Annie i writen. you just dont see evil and funny together often.

This novel is one of my favourites too, it's ridiculously easy to pick up and start and you don't put it down again for a long time. That is a testament to King's talent in itself, that such a cramped, confined setting with only two substantial characters, can present such a compelling tale. This is further proof that King is not - and never has been - simply a slightly talented horror hack as too many people claim without evidence or any interest in his work to back such a claim up. I point them in the direction of this novel as Exhibit A The psychological aspects of horror are always more frightening than anything we can make up, that's why Misery and Annie Wilkes works so well.
