Paul Sheldon. He's a bestselling novelist who has finally met his biggest fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes and she is more than a rabid reader—she is Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house. Now Annie wants Paul to write his greatest work—just for her. She has lots of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an ax. And if they don't work, she can get really nasty...
-from the back cover
в отличие от других книг Кинга, которые я читала, Misery ощущается реальной. это может случиться в нашем мире, и это пугает
некоторые сцены напомнили мне детство с бабушкой :с
а это чувство, что Пол никогда не выберется из дома Анни — последнюю госпитализацию в психушку
I found a beat-up paperback copy of Misery on the pavement, a few blocks from my old apartment, read it and put it back on the street. Highly recommend reading it this way.
