The fake Misery cover in the book is worth a AAA. :)

two Bs for the ending... hmmmmm... if by "ending" we understand the last page(s), I think it's the strongest ending King ever wrote.

A A A no doubt at all.

I reallllly wanted Annie Wilkes to get her comeuppance by the end of this one. Can you imagine if the story had gone the way King originally intended? "The Annie Wilkes Edition", the ultimate collectible!
