Agreed. If I'd been reading a hard copy instead of listening to the audio version, it would've been rough. Not sure why, but it just never grabbed me.

I think Lisey's story is a time and place in life book to read. It is a different style. Try it again in a few years. Over the years I have found books read years ago have a different feel/meaning in later years.
Re: Most difficult book to finish reading...
For me Wizard and Glass. Out of the first 5 DT books I've read its easily the worst to me but I still like it!
Re: Most difficult book to finish reading...
Tommyknockers, Needful Things and Under the Dome. They just weren't page turners for me. Became a chore to read. There was also a tiny bit in the middle of 12/11/97 that I slowed right down on but it soon picked up again. Probably spent as long reading those middle hundred or so pages as I did the rest of the book.
Re: Most difficult book to finish reading...
I cannot finish Lisey's Story. The last time I tried was a couple of years ago. I just got it on my Kindle and I am determined to get through it this time.
Re: Most difficult book to finish reading...
For me it is From a Buick 8.
Re: Most difficult book to finish reading...
I'll take a lot of heat for this, but at least I'm being honest:
It was so difficult for me to get through The Gunslinger that I haven't wanted to read the rest of the Dark Tower series.

Trust us on this one, read the second one and then decide if it's not for you. I might have been saying the same thing if I hadn't gone on. :smile2:
