not in my Top Six, but close. I've held it in very high regard since I first read it.
This is an amazing book. The horror just leaps off every page. And it's the horror of the real--no supernatural elements. Annie Wilkes is one of the great horror creations of our time. I think I was cringing with every turn of the page. And it's a testament to King's talents that even the silly romance "story within the story" held my attention.
5!
5. Not room for it in my top 5, but it still must be a 5.

4. A very good book, but not one of my favorites by him.
This one ROCKS!! Annie Wilkes scared the crud out of me with no supernatural powers at all. She was one mean baddie. The scariest thing of all was the possible reality of the whole scenario. I don't know about anyone else but Kathy Bates and James Caan were awesome in the movie version which I think was also top notch.

Loved it! One of the scariest Kings ever.

This is actually the one I am reading now :-)
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.

The poll has closed. Misery has earned a FAS (final average score) of 4.600000000 or 92.00%, placing 3rd in this bracket. It will not be moving on to Round 2.
Just for the record, while Misery didn't officially qualify for Round 2 at this time, it got a very high score anyway, and like in prior years, will probably be in the second round as there will be six non-winners and non-runners-up as wildcards promoted after the conclusion of Round 1.
