misery is a great horror novel by stephen king. i totally recommend it (of course i do, that's why i'm writing a post about it in my blog dah)... BUT... my suggestion is to read this book if you're not going through difficult times in your life, cause it's so so stressful.
it's about a writer, paul sheldon, who is very famous for writing a hugely successful book series, and whose protagonist is called misery.
well he's fed up with misery, he knows that these are middling books, that helped him to have fame and money, something like paulo coelho or fifty shades of grey, i think. but he really wants to write something better. something where he can show his true talent. so in his last book, misery dies.
then he sets to work in his great book, his masterpiece. when it's done, he gets a big pedota to celebrate. takes his car and suffers a serious road accident. a woman named annie wilkes saves him.
it turns out that annie wilkes is insane and an obsessed fan of misery, and she keeps paul at her home, doing to him terrible, terrible things.
i suffered with misery. i really did. when you go to see a horror movie, you can cover your eyes and ears while the most horrifying scenes pass. but if you're reading, how can you cover your imagination? at the climax of the book i got a little dizzy because of the shock.
yes i suffered. but i loved it.
i love the horror. and king's a master of it.
