And when she finds out what Paul has done to Misery, she doesn't like it. She doesn't like it at all . . .

Misery
Really scary!!! This is another of one of my favorite King books! I was really disappointed that the movie was not as dramatic as the book. Movies can never live up to the author's work.

This is a classic, and Stephen King's descriptions make me feel what's going on in the book, it is that good. Also fun to watch the movie after the book to see the differences.
