в отличие от других книг Кинга, которые я читала, Misery ощущается реальной. это может случиться в нашем мире, и это пугает
некоторые сцены напомнили мне детство с бабушкой :с
а это чувство, что Пол никогда не выберется из дома Анни — последнюю госпитализацию в психушку
I found a beat-up paperback copy of Misery on the pavement, a few blocks from my old apartment, read it and put it back on the street. Highly recommend reading it this way.
