Lisey's Story

**Duma D** · August 26th, 2009

I just started Lisey's Story too, I have never felt such a pull in any of SK's other stories. Damned if I know where that strong undertow comes from. Can't put it down, even though I don't hardly know what I'm reading about yet. Maybe it's Lisey's voice, so strong and clear and certain--in this uncertain world.....maybe the reader can sense the love that is buried in this tale from the start, from that inviting picture of the shovel in the snow on the cover?

I cried through the entire second half of this book I believe. And I hardly ever cry. Except It's one of my favorite SKs, and I've read a lot of them, including The Stand and (as of yesterday) the Dark Tower series.

Bad gunky. I use that phrase with my 14 year old son.
I read my first Stephen King book when I was about 15. It was Pet Semetary.
I plan to force my son to read it. He'll be 15 in May. Then, I'l force him to
read many others. Including Lisey's Story. These are my 2 favorites so far.
Things do get more amazing and wonderful as the story goes on. Don't give up!

My intention is not to be rude here, but I cannot remember a character by that name from Lisey's Story. Do you mean

I purchased this book the day it was released. At first, for the first fifty pages, I didn't think it would be much. Boy, was I wrong. Lisey's Story is one of King's more sentimental and "relatable" books. I absolutely thrive in its use of literature ("I was hot, so hot, and you gave me ice!), Scott's twisted lingo ("SOWISA, babyluv!") and its slow revelation of an imperfect, yet beautiful marriage. I was in tears when Scott's death was recalled in one late chapter and immediately started reading my favorite parts all over again when I'm finished.

I am still loving this book! And I think some are right....maybe you truly have to have that one love in your life that you make your own little world with them. You use those little nicknames that no one would understand but you....you almost have your own language. The books that SK write that involve a true love story just captivate me and yet rip my heart out because I could not imagine having to go through what these characters have gone through with losing their one true love.

I too thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I "discovered" it at a local bookstore and coffee shop a couple of weeks ago. I don't know how Lisey's Story slipped under my radar. Mr. King never ceases to amaze me how he keeps his craft fresh yet all (or mostly all) his works are tied together. Sometimes his works are bound by a threefold cord and others it's by merely a thread but it's there like a hillbilly cousin.
