First Line:
"Paul Sheldon. He's a bestselling novelist who has finally met his biggest fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes and she is more than a rabid reader- she is Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house."
My Rating: 3/5
This is the first Stephen King book that I have ever read and after hearing so much in the bookish community about his writing, I have to be honest, I was a little letdown. This book was just ok for me. Up until the last quarter of the book, I found myself putting it down or getting distracted without focusing on what was going on with the story. I found that the main character was not my favourite and what truly held me in the story to the end was the idea of Annie and her unpredictability. I think that the end was well wrapped up and I would be willing to read more from this author if anyone has suggestions of other books that I might like by him (excluding IT).
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
