Lisey's Story

**char80** · June 24th, 2009

It was the first SK book I read (a few months ago) and have since collected a further 31 of his books which I am enjoying at about one a week lol!!! I think that says it all - it was brilliant!

Just finished this book, and Wow!
I started it when it came out, but couldn't get into it for some reason. Picked it back up after finding this site and reading how much some of you liked it so much. I'm very happy I did, man, what a scary story!

I am reading it right now, I am at page 441 (paperback). So far I am loving it, I think it's one of King's best.

This is one of my favorite SK's stories. Boo'ya Moon and the Longboy with the Endless Piebald Side was very familiar to me.

I'm half-way thru Lisey's story. I had trouble getting into it 2 other times. Now I really like the story, even tho I feel it jumps around a lot. But that's also what maeks SK's books interesting - the method of writing.

I loved how the different tenses kept alternating. It was almost as if I was ready and wanting the particular era or time, right when SK went back to it. Lisey's Story is still with me; it's one of those books that you think of all the time, even when you've finished reading it ages ago...

This is one book that I really did have trouble getting into and put it down for another. I will be going back to it very soon and hope that I find it as enjoyable as most of the posts suggest on here.

This will not beat me though as I am determined to get through it.

As is posted below...I'm struggling to decide if I liked Lisey's Story even more that The Stand. I would have never thought that possible.

I just finished Lisey's Story about two weeks ago. I've been reading through King's work ever since I got my Kindle. I've read a lot of his stuff (including the DT series) and I have to say that I think this is the first King story that I disliked. The characters were interesting, but overall, it just did not hold my attention at all. I had to force myself to finish it -- I hate leaving books unfinished, even if I don't like them (only exception ever was when I tried to read Twilight LOL. Never made it past the first 3 pages). First SK book I didn't like after reading 18 of his books -- not too shabby :-)

Are you sure you were reading LISEY'S STORY, by Stephen King? Seriously, to each their own. I'm just teasing because I've read all but a few of SK's books and Lisey's is one of my absolute favorites. Sorry you didn't like it...was it hardcover...could it be a different book inside? LOL.
