Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband, Scott, two years ago, after a twenty-five-year marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey had to learn from him about books and blood and bools. Later, she understood that there was a place Scott went -- a place that both terrified and healed him, that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's demons, Lisey's turn to go to Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widow's effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited. Perhaps King's most personal and powerful novel, Lisey's Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.

Summary: So Disappointed
Comment: Being a hard-core fan of Stephen King, I found this offering to be less than exciting. Yes, it had some high points but, for the most part, it dragged. The story could have been told in many fewer pages without sacrificing a thing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: (sigh)
Comment: I have never not finished a book. Until now. This book sucked.
The worse part is, is that I'm a King apolagetic. There is always something to be gotten out of his work. With this book, I'm not so sure. Maybe if I would have finished it, I might have found something. But I couldn't.
I'm sorry sai King.

Summary: What a letdown!
Comment: I've been an avid fan of King's work from the start, but it seems to me thay he may be running out of creative inspiration. His last books have been less masterful than the earlier ones and this one is just awful. It's the only Stephen King book that went straight to the Goodwill box instead of being lined up with all the others on their own special bookshelf. Let's hope he gets himself together before the next one comes out.

Summary: COULDN'T READ IT
Comment: Unlike Stephen King novels. I usually get right into his storylines. I couldn't get past the first few chapters when I just completely gave up. Maybe the story gets better but it was soooooo boring. On the basis of the beginning of the book - BORING. If you can get past that then maybe it gets better, don't know and will never read the rest to find out.

Summary: Couldn't finish
Comment: If I see Steve at a Red Sox game, I'm asking for my money back. 150 pages of gaga-goo-goo talk and this book was on it's way to a library donation. Now I feel guilty because some other SOB's going to waste time on this mess.
