 King falters at the end June 8, 1999
In a solid but unspectacular horror outing, Stephen King again has caused nationwide outbreaks of insomnia and bed-wetting. This time, it is the isolated Colorado mountain home of one Annie Wilkes. Wilkes is one of Stephen King's most terrifying villains, from her edgy depression to her desperate attempts at conformity. After keeping the reader biting his nails to shreds for the first 2/3 of the book, King loses his touch. The final portions of the book, while still scary, are not up to King's standards. Still, Misery will terrify and entertain King fans. It is an excellent "first book" for someone new to King.
It was very suspenseful and has lots twisting turns to it. May 18, 1999

The book is definetely one that you will want to read. It has a great plot and you won't want to put it down. You become so involved in the main characters thoughts that you are soon thinking along with him what will happen next. I think anyone who is interested in a book that you will be able to get into and a little scare, read this.
 It's STEPHEN KING!! Need I say more?? May 17, 1999
This is the first Stephen King book I've ever read in my entire reading history, after hearing his name everyday and seeing his name everywhere. When I decided to read this, I thought, Hey, this better not be a disappointment! And, man, it was absolutely FAR from it!! This book is GREAT! It captures my attention and interest on the very first page, pulls me deeper and deeper into the actions, emotions, and suspense of the plot and characters, it's just amazing how a book can catch a reader and refuse to let go!!! This is the most irresistable adventure I've ever have the honor to experience since Ender's Game. Even now I've read some other King's book, such as Cujo, Carrie, Thinner, and The Langoliers, Misery is still the best. Even though it's kinda gross, sometimes.Read it, I assure you, it's GOOD! After all, it's STEPHEN KING!
 Great Ending-Nothing Else May 15, 1999
The ending to Misery is absolutly hoffiying. It made me cringe. It, however, is the only good part about the book. The story doesn't even start rolling until Annie takes the ax to Paul. I am a very big Stephen King fan, but Misery could have really been something. He has a lot of great books, but this isn't one of them.
Put A Little Misery In Your Pipe And Smoke It! April 25, 1999
Undeniably in my opinion, another one of King's great triumphs in a long list. This book put me out of my, "Misery," in the search for something to read. It would be horrible to be placed in the same exact situation as Paul Sheldon. The movie is quite excellent and follows the book wonderfully.
