Publisher’s Summary
Misery Chastain was dead. Paul Sheldon had just killed her – with relief, with joy. Misery had made him rich; she was the heroine of a string of best sellers. And now he wanted to get on to some real writing.
That’s when the car accident happened, and he woke up in pain in a strange bed. But it wasn’t the hospital.
Annie Wilkes had pulled him from the wreck, brought him to her remote mountain home, splinted and set his mangled legs. The good news was that Annie was a nurse and had painkilling drugs. The bad news was that she was Paul’s Number One Fan. And when she found out what Paul had done to Misery, she didn’t like it. She didn’t like it at all. And now he had to bring Misery back to life. Or else….

One of the best writers of our time
This book should be high on the list for KING fans as it came out later it is a reflection of the authors own struggles. The story is interesting and excellently constructed. Crouse’s performance is solid.

there’s an Annie in all of us
I picture Annie as my ex mother in law or as a hillary clinton completely crazy to murder children and to be obsessed with a trashy chRactor in a b grade novel.and have the same dreams as Paul. enjoyable book. Annie is the modern day Karen that seems everywhere. there’s a bit of Annie in us all unfortunately.
