Title: Sheer MISERY to read!
Review: Read this book if you are stuck on a submarine and you have read everything else already. I saw the movie, thinking that it might be better (but, of course, movies are never better than books). Boy, was I wrong! The book was bad, and the movie was worse. King does not develop characters well in general, and he does a particularly poor job in "Misery". In any good book, I will find myself anticipating a knowledge of the characters' fate. Not so in "Misery". Within 100 pages, I had no feelings for either of the main characters. I considered it *work* to finish this book. Believe me, if you can get through this, you can get through anything.
