We loved the fried oysters wrapped in lettuce. Be sure to order the delicious bread. Their fried chicken is amazingly crunchy, moist, and not greasy. Their seasonal beets and berries side fish was luscious.

Our server was great, too. The ambiance of this little spot was wonderful as was the menu.
The Cheddar Beignets were a great way to start and splitting them between the table worked great, they are huge. This is a cute, fun hipster joint. The waitstaff were very warm and welcoming. The creme fraiche was absolutely delicious and I'd go back just for that!

Unfortunately, the fried chicken and waffles were a bit flavorless and didn't come together quite right. This was our second visit to Misery, but first time to sit down to a full meal. From start to end an exciting and varied culinary experience.

I was not required to give a review. All of the opinions I have expressed here are my own. Aug 27, Elizabeth rated it it was amazing. Misery Loves Company is a suspenseful novel that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. Jules is a young widow who mostly keeps to herself since the death of her husband, Jason. Jules is the type of person that follows a strict routine: As Chris looks for Jules and tries to find out who murdered Jason, Jules is having an unforgettable time with her captor, who claims that he kidnapped her not to harm her, but to teach her a lesson she needs to learn.
I really loved reading this book. There was just the right amount of mystery to keep you interested in reading and the characters just leapt off the page. After reading this book, I look forward to reading other books written by this author. Mar 01, Jennifer Slattery rated it it was amazing. The story gripped me without release, often keeping me up well into the night, until I reached the very satisfying end. Held hostage in a secret, remote cabin barricaded in by trees and brutal cold, her fear of death stirs within her a desire to live.
There were times my fingertips literally grew sweaty, my stomach churned, and my pulse raced as I wondered if this poor, broken girl would survive. As to Patrick Reagan, the literary genius turned kidnapper, I held as much fear of him and empathy for him as Jules did. If not crazy yet, would he become it before the novels end? And yet, having experienced with him the death of his wife, could I blame him if he did lose his sanity?

To view it, click here. For some reason, I seem to be attracted to Ms. Gutteridge's books that deal with writing. The first novel I read by her was Ghost Writer which was about an author receiving anonymous pages by someone writing in great detail about his life.
I love those things that have some insight into the writing world and putting twists on them is great fun. You should stop reading now as this r For some reason, I seem to be attracted to Ms. You should stop reading now as this review might contain spoilers. A book reviewer suddenly pops up missing.
Involved in her disappearance is a well-known author. Just why he's taken her becomes the real crux of the mystery. Does he have information on why her police husband was killed in the line of duty? I really did like this book but some things kept me from loving it. The villain was just never consistent vacillating between fatherly and mentally ill. It really felt like he was more misguided than evil especially when his goal for taking her seems to be to pass the baton of his writing career to another and he was never punished for his crimes at the end of the book.
I didn't feel like the suspense element was fully realized. An engaging tale with an intriguing plot concept but not as scary as I prefer. I think readers who enjoy a gentler suspense read will find the novel enjoyable. Jul 08, C. Hart rated it really liked it Shelves: It has some similarities thriller, danger, writers, etc.
It may seem strange to comment on the appearance and feel of this book, but its uniqueness deserves a mention. The large font is easy to read, I like the picture at the beginning of each chapter, and the cover is interesting and has a smooth texture. In the early morning hours, with the stars dotted across a fading black sky, the air was still and thick and shadowless.

I was not required to write a positive review. The options I have expressed are my own. Misery Loves Company was a very good read. Different from what I expected going in, but still great. I loved how Jules, the main character, was a blogger and reviewed books monthly on her blog. Patrick was an interesting character. It was a little hard to understand him and his reasoning for doing some of the things he did completely, but I guess that's what made him such an intriguing character. There was a sliver of romance in Misery Love Review on Amazon: There was a sliver of romance in Misery Loves Company , not much - which I really liked for a change.
While I wasn't surprised by a lot of things in Misery Loves Company , there was one thing in the story I didn't expect at all! Overall, Misery Loves Company was a interesting book that held my attention. I was not required to give a positive review, only my honest opinion - which I've done.

Nov 20, Dundee Library rated it liked it Shelves: Juliet Belleno is a young widow of a police officer who was killed on duty. Grief stricken, she becomes a reclusive blogger making little contact with the outside world after her husband's death.
After a trip to the store, she awakens in a strange room. She discovers her abductor is her favorite author whose mental state is anything but stable! He begins a slow process of revelations about her husband's death that begin to change her perception of all she thought to be true. The book was slow to Juliet Belleno is a young widow of a police officer who was killed on duty.
The book was slow to interest me but once I got into it, it was very interesting. We had a good Book Club discussion about it. Although the consensus of the group was that it was a good book, several members of our club mentioned that it was not really inspirational. I thought the discussion questions were much more inspirational and thought-provoking than the book. Oct 03, Trish rated it it was ok. This was a very odd book - I thought it was going to be a total Stephen King Misery knockoff and nearly stopped after chapter 5, but decided to give it a bit more time.
I'm glad I did, as I enjoyed the story overall, but the ending was just too dramatic AND rather unsatisfying. I can maybe accept the fact that she's not going to press charges - but she has no desire for closure? And Chris is also willing to let it drop?
Dec 07, Rita rated it really liked it Shelves: This is the first book I've read by Rene Gutteridge. I enjoyed the mystery in the book and had fun trying to guess the outcome. Early on I thought I had it all figured out only to discover I was wrong about most of it. The only negative about the book would be that while the story seemed to move along at a steady pace, the ending seemed too rushed to me. I was a couple of chapters into this book when something made me check the publisher.
As a former bookstore manager, I am quite familiar with them, but I generally don't read anything they publish because I am not at all religious. So I will just say that if you like fiction that is Christianity-oriented, you will probably like this book. Mar 02, Shelbie rated it liked it. A very interesting story about a writer who gets kidnapped by her own favorite author Will Jules figure out the reason for her kidnapping before her captor goes totally insane?
Sep 09, Marian Baay rated it it was amazing Shelves: Aug 27, Aloha rated it really liked it. What a page turner! I kept saying "last chapter" on a Saturday night and couldn't help but continue when I realized I couldn't sleep until I got answers. The characters got my empathy and I love how the title really fits the story. If only people could have someone who's exactly in the same shoes as them, who'd really understand their grief as much as the other and both could teach and learn from each other.
Maybe then it wouldn't be so hard to grive alone. I enjoyed listening to this book in my car going back and forth to work every day. The narrator did a good job of keeping my interest. The author did a good job of describing the characters, as well as the places in the book where events took place. This wasn't the keep-me-on-the-edge-of-my-seat-type book that I thought it would be, but it was interesting enough that I turned to it each time I got into my car. I was glad I chose it.
Sep 12, zoesmum rated it it was amazing. Enjoyable This isn't the first novel I have read by this author and indeed it won't be the last. It flows so seamlessly and smoothly. It made me sigh when I'd finished reading it. A big fat sigh of contentment! Jun 06, Cara Grandle rated it it was amazing Shelves: Love a good mystery and this one held my attention. She had some fun unique twists in her plot. Jul 25, Renn Shearin rated it it was amazing.
But one day when she ventures out to the local grocery store, Jules bumps into a fellow customer. Misery Loves Company by Rene Gutteridge was an excellent novel that was incredibly deep and realistic and left me almost literally gasping for breath as I reached its end and clawed my way out its storyline. As I sit down to write this review, it is an odd feeling because writing book reviews is what Jules in this novel does every day, and it is partly because of this activity that she finds herself in a hidden cabin, kidnapped by her favorite author, Patrick Reagan.
An odd feeling indeed.
