I cannot overstate how surprised I was by this book. I was expecting historical fiction. What I got was horror. Historical horror… Whatever the genre, Toni Morrison is true to form here and pulls no punches.
I’ve been trying to get into Stephen King, but it’s been hit or miss. I’ve read The Institute – 2 stars. Thinner – 4 stars, but my memory is more in the 2-star range. Probably because I hated the main character. Of course, I’ve read The Shining and Doctor Sleep, but I never gave these ones ratings (re-reads coming soon with ratings). Hmm… may I’ve liked him more than I realized. At any rate, if you want to make yourself into a Stephen King fan, read Misery!
