Lisey's Story

so...i've recently read Lisey's story - Stephen King novel. That was the first time i've read a stephen king book and I thought it was pretty good. It's very creative in terms of the writing style as well as the content. No regrets buying and reading it.

This woman whose famous husband-writer died realizes that after so many years, she still hasn't gotten over his death and she still hears her husband all the time as if he's talking to her. It's about the widow's memories of her husband's terrifying childhood; about madness and creativity.

What fascinated me about this novel was the long boy with the piebald side and insanity and magic and the writer's aptitude for originality.

**dIScONNECTED recommends reading Lisey's Story - not for one who can't stand the sight of thick books

bool! the end!
