About this listen
Misery Chastain was dead. Paul Sheldon had just killed her - with relief, with joy. Misery had made him rich; she was the heroine of a string of best sellers. And now he wanted to get on to some real writing.
That's when the car accident happened, and he woke up in pain in a strange bed. But it wasn't the hospital.
Annie Wilkes had pulled him from the wreck, brought him to her remote mountain home, splinted and set his mangled legs. The good news was that Annie was a nurse and had painkilling drugs. The bad news was that she was Paul's Number One Fan. And when she found out what Paul had done to Misery, she didn't like it. She didn't like it at all. And now he had to bring Misery back to life. Or else....

One of the best writers of our time

The story grabs you by the throat and wrestles you to the ground and doesn't let you up for air until the last sentence.
Near the end of the book I found myself pausing the audio for a while so I wouldn't finish too quickly. I didn't want it to end.
I read the paperback of this story when it came out back in the late 80's and to my great pleasure I was just as frightened for Paul Shelton now as I was back then.
The narrator does a fantastic job of telling the story and has the ability, at least with me, to completely immerse me in the story.
Make sure you listen to this book before anything else.
A true masterpiece of writing.

The story itself is tense, terrifying and yet still lulls you into a kind of Stockholm syndrome (I know the term is a terrible misnomer). I highly recommend it.
Excellent book
