The main character of this
book is Paul Sheldon. Paul is a best selling novelist looking to find a
quiet, secluded location deep in the country. On his search for the right
location, he unexpectedly gets into an automobile accident by driving his
road into a ditch. Low and behold, out of the snowy country roads he finally
meets his biggest fan, Annie Wilkes. Little does he know she is more than
a fan, she is a nurse who has an obsession for him. Tending to his body
after the accident, she brings him to her house where no one will be able
to find him. But her idea is to keep him captive, and a prisoner of her
house. Now Annie wants Paul to write his greatest book of his series for
her but he chooses not to, now this is just the beginning of her madness.
If you want to continue the misery of this book, I suggest you read MISERY
by Stephen King. (Andrew L., 8th grade student, Rundlett Middle School,
