I love Stephen King. I love the way he writes. I love the way he fleshes out his characters. Misery is no different. The characters were so believable and fascinating. It took no effort to fall into the "hole" and become completely invested in the story. However, I can't say that I "loved" Misery. It was too gruesome, gory and just plain gross for me to say that I loved it. That's hard to say, because I've really never had a problem before but for some reason Misery just grossed me out. 
 I'd been needing a Stephen King fix, and man, I got it. I still think it's a necessary read for any Stephen King fan, and I'm glad that I read it.
