One of the true classics of psychological suspense, about a writer and his No. 1 fan, now with a stunning new cover look.
Paul Sheldon used to write for a living. Now he’s writing to stay alive.
Misery Chastain is dead. Paul Sheldon has just killed her – with relief, with joy. Misery made him rich; she was the heroine of a string of bestsellers. And now he wants to get on to some real writing.
That’s when the car accident happens, and he wakes up splinted and in pain, in the remote mountain home of his rescuer, Annie Wilkes.
The good news is that Annie was a nurse and has pain-killing drugs. The bad news is that she has long been Paul’s Number One Fan. And when she finds out what Paul has done to Misery, she doesn’t like it. She doesn’t like it at all . . .

Thrilling
While the book features only two characters and one location, there was never a point it felt repetitive or boring (even though it takes a bit to gain momentum), with the setting allowing King to deeply explore the personality, emotions, and motives of the two characters, enriching a plot that would have been otherwise dull and unoriginal. Two were the things I most liked about the book: the first is the portrayal of Annie and her disturbing personality, with those unsettling alternation between moments of almost clueless sweetness and moments of ravaging murderousness; the second was the exploration of Paul’s character as a writer (in which I strongly believe King infused much of himself), and the way he tries to cope psychologically with seclusion and torture.Last but not least, the ending was fair and fitting: in my opinion one of the best out of King’s books I’ve read (which is something considering his ability to smear good stories with mediocre finales!)

TOO GOOD NOT TO READ TWICE!
One of King’s best tales! I love reading every word he writes! Misery is a true page turner! Love it!

Suspance and horror
Bellissima prosa, ricca e vivida. Ti fa vedere le scene, come a teatro. A volte eccede nel macabro. Ma resta cmq indimenticabile.

Forse il migliore di King finora
Libro strepitoso, ma effettivamente lo dico di ogni libro di King man mano che li leggo. Anche per Shining e per It avevo pensato che fossero i migliori in assoluto… eppure anche dopo aver letto Misery si rimane a bocca aperta per la maestria nel farci vivere quest’angosciante situazione da dentro la testa del protagonista, senza mai cambiare il punto di vista.Se amate le atmosfere piene di ansia e paura dell’inaspettato… non potete perdervelo! Un Must!

Edizione Kindle perfetta
Tralascio i giudizi sull’opera in quanto tale, sarebbero superflui. L’edizione Kindle originale americana è perfetta, senza evidenti errori ortografici e con un’ottima resa grafica degli spezzoni del libro “Misery’s Return”, diversi a seconda di come sono stati scritti dal personaggio Paul Sheldon.

Quando il tuo lavoro diventa il tuo incubo
Quando si dice ‘fan tossici’, ykes!Uno stage teatrale, una location isolata senza via di scampo, il persecutore e la vittima, in un morboso triangolo tra un fan, il creatore, e la creazione. Stephen King esorcizza parecchi demoni interiori con questo lavoro! Scrivere come forma di sopravvivenza e come atto d’amore e di odio verso la propria creazione migliore, un demone maligno che ha la forma di una fan pazza, quasi soprannaturale nella propria determinazione di tenere aperta la sua amata saga, al punto da fare scoccare la scintilla creativa.E’ ancora un romanzo potente, che vanta uno dei migliori adattamenti con una Kathy Bates in stato di grazia.

Fantastic thriller full of suspance
A writer has a car accident and he is rescued by a mad nurse, that she is the number one fan of the writer. Annie (the nurse name) forces the writer to write a novel about the writer most famous character “Misery”.Curiosity: The writer starts to write the Misery novel on an old type writer withe a missing “n” and in the book all the n’s are written in another font that looks like hand writing

meraviglioso!
Un libro duro, claustrofobico, spaventoso. Consigliato a chi è già un fan del Re e anche a chi gli si avvicina per la prima volta. Esula dall’horror classico, essendo più un thriller, ma è in perfetto stile King.

good book

El libro es excelente y llegó en muy buen estado. Lamentablemente las fotos del producto lo enseñan como un ejemplar firmado y por lo tanto de colección. No viene firmado. No hay valor añadido a poseer una de las mejores novelas de King.

This book was a really awesome ride and was getting a little gory at the end if u have read the story. I could feel for the protagonist so much. I’m planning on getting more Stephen King books! Definitely recommend it!

Mr. King deserves every million on his bank account. After IT and Shining this is an all-time classic I will read again and again and again. This man sure knows how to write.
