Title: "A Thrill Ride"
Review: Probably the greatest piece of work Stephen King ever did, "Misery" tells the story of how a famous writer, named Paul Sheldon, drives his car off a road in the middle of a snowstorm in Colorado. He is rescued by nurse Annie Wilkes who brings Paul into her home where she nurses him back to health. She confides in Paul that she is his #1 fan as she loves his "Misery" novels, a series of books that Paul is most famous for. However, once Annie realizes that Paul has killed off Misery in his latest book, Annie displays signs that she is totally unhinged and Paul is swept into absolute horror. It is then up to Paul's writing skills to escape the hell that Annie has put him in. "Misery" would be turned into an excellent motion picture in 1990 directed by Rob Reiner, and it would garner Kathy Bates the Oscar for Best Actress for her mesmerizing performance of Annie Wilkes. The book, like the film, is a must-own.
