Thank you Stephen King for the beautiful story.

Hello ~
have just finished a translated version of Lisey's Story and have to say:

What kept playing in my head was CCR playing Born On The Bayou

Now, when I was just a little boy, Standin' to my Daddy's knee, My poppa said, ";Son, don't let the man get you Do what he done to me."; 'Cause he'll get you, 'Cause he'll get you now, no...

Having noted that, good grief, Stephen King just gets better and better!

Many thanks from a thrilled reader in Scandinavia.

I've read Lisey's Story 3 times and thinking of reading it again after I finish rereading Cell. Lisey's Story is becoming one of my favorite Uncle Stevie book. It is so tender.

I've finished to read this book today and met an older version of Amanda at the gym (the one I imagined). She was very energetic!
You've been so very precious to me Stephen
your books make me laugh and cry and that's the best
Lots of love,
Marina

I agree, one of his most real and one of my all time faves. This is the one that baffles me when other fans here say they don't like it.

I really did not expect much out of this book. It had a "chick flick" feel to it. But once I started in on it, I couldnt put it down. This one IMO had some of the scariest (or freakiest) stuff in Kings work, unlikely as that once seemed. Loved it!

I finished this book in Swedish and I absolutely loved it! It just got better and better! And I couldn't stop crying, don't know why really, but the feeling was just... Amazing! Can't wait till I read it in English!

Just finished this one myself and found it to be one of the strangest and more frightening books I have ever read. It was also very touching and intimate. SOWISA babyliuv and little are now a part of my interior dialogue.
Mr. Koontz had one that I equate with SOWISA, On it, with it and for it.
I really like this concept and the best real-life illustration I have seen was my wife. When we were much younger and everyone lived in California I was dog-sitting Trouble and he was. He had rolled in something high and fine in his doggy opinion that I found putrid. I was trying to hose him off and he slipped out of his collar and went through the open sliding glass door I was right behind him my wife was about to go up the stairs. The 80 pound dog leaped towards the couch and my sleeping infant daughter. My wife just acted. She dove over our daughter and just prevented the disaster. It was AWESOME! The tolerance was incredibly tight. SOWISA little. She is, small but mighty! Steve seems to capture so many of these finer qualities of ordinary people
