This book is structured similarly to his last book.In this story, we also follow pictures, but of floor plans. Our narrator is…

The twisted tale of survival in Stephen King’s Misery
This is one of the books that I was really excited to read. Why? A single sentence made me want to read it: the book’s premises are settled in just one room. I was really excited to see how King made this story work. If it is interesting to read, and more importantly, how he…
