Misery

Book Review

Stephen King's «Misery» is a masterfully written thriller that immerses the reader in an atmosphere of horror and tension. Critics note that King brilliantly conveys the psychological state of the main character, writer Paul Sheldon, who finds himself captive to his fanatical admirer, Annie Wilkes. The plot keeps the reader in constant suspense, and the characters are crafted with such depth and realism that the reader can almost feel their fear and despair. Critics also emphasize that «Misery» is not just a survival story but a metaphor for a writer's dependency on their audience and the creative struggles. The book has received high praise for its originality, psychological intensity, and narrative mastery.
