    “you promised me a love story! I was so psyched when he (stephen) said in an interview he wrote a love story, i couldnt wait to buy it as i want to write romantic suspense myself. yes the love was there but htis aint a love story. need i remind you what happens when you annoy the romance readers? you did write "Misery" i still think he is one of the best despite it.”
