Poor pup was out of his mind for no fault of his own. I really need to stop reading books involving animals. They just end up making me sad by the end....more

His rescuer, Annie Wilkes, finds him and takes him back to her home to nurse him back to health. Annie is Paul's number one fan and obsessed with Misery Chastain, a protagonist, in his popular romance series. She is seriously upset that Paul killed her off in his latest book, bringing an end to the series. Annie isn't going to allow that happen. A rescue turns into a hostage situation. Paul is at her mercy until he agrees to bring Misery back from the dead. Annie's brand of motivation involves sledgehammers, drugs, and broken ankles. I think this book missed it mark for me. I know that there is supposed to be some build up with tension as Paul's situation gets more dire, but it didn't feel that way to me.

They bordered more on sci-fi and the weird. I could go with it, but they need to be good. I found them mediocre. Please let the next one be better. Fingers crossed....more
