Misery by Stephen King



Stephen King has an ability unlike any other to create two extreme characters; one who you love and feel the pain of and share their every emotion, and then the one who is the epitome of evil, that you hate more than anything.  Every terrible thing that happened to Paul as he slowly broke mentally and gave up hope just filled me with more rage for retaliation over Annie, but being a Stephen King novel, you really never know what to expect and a happy ending it not always guaranteed.  The other amazing aspect of this story is how King was able to write a story within the story which mimicked the main story, and at the same time talking in the main plot about the difference between things that happen in books and those that happen in real life; it was pretty genius.
