[Simon · Rating 3 out of 5]

I'm not a fan of MISERY. It's one of those stories that pushes my buttons in all the wrong places. I listened to the radio adaptation of the stage adaptation of the book. I'm still not a fan of this story but I have to say Miriam Margolyes is absolutely fantastic as Annie Wilkes. It's worth listening to just for performance.

Planning to listen to this audiodrama. I've read and re-read this book countless times and still loving it. Never tired of it.
