Misery, by Stephen King

I really enjoyed this book, perhaps because it is about a writer and King gives many insights into the writing process as well as the life of a writer.  It wasn't as scary as I thought it might be but it was funnier.

The novel was plotted well with good pacing.  I enjoyed the metaphors such as the author's pain as pilings that were exposed by the tide being pulled by Annie as the moon.  I think one of the most enjoyable aspects was getting deep inside the character of the author and King did a good job of not interrupting the magic.

I saw the movie years ago and almost didn't read it because I didn't like the movie.  I'm sure glad I gave the book a chance--it's one of my favorites.
