Gina,
I did watch it. It is pretty good. I never read the book so I can't compare it. Story was interesting but IMHO not one of King's best, yet still worth watching.
Kind of a neat scene from the movie (and won't give anything away). Pierce Brosnan is an author and is at a book signing. A young man carrying several books for him to autograph approaches him and his wife. He says to Pierce's character, "I'm your number one fan." (Misery)
His wife who was on her way out whispers to him, "I'll leave you with Annie Wilkes I have to go."
King also had a small cameo in the film.
