Lisey's Story
9 journalers for this copy...
I got this book at Books-A-Million.TO BE READ
From the Publisher
Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty five year marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Lisey knew there was a place Scott went -- a place that both terrified and healed him, 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 ever, Lisey's Story is about the wellspings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.

Received in the mail today. Thanks for including me in this bookring - Looking forward to reading this. I have one book in front of it but I should be able to get to this soon.
I used to be a huge Stephen King fan – I loved most of his early work including ‘Salem’s Lot, The Shining, Carrie, Cujo, Firestarter, The Dead Zone, The Stand, and on and on. However, I just could not get into this novel. I tortured myself by reading the first 150 pages before I decided to give it up! I really got frustrated with the made-up language King kept using like “bool,” “blood-bool”, "bad-gunky”, SOWISA, and “strap it on” to name a few. To be fair, I won’t give this book a rating, but I will move on to something better (I hope).
Thanks Bibliocrates for sharing. I have missprisy’s address and will get the book in the mail soon.

Arrived today. It is number 2 on my TBR. Thank you for sharing Biblocrates and thank you to perryfran for mailing the book to me.
I really enjoyed this book. I had many questions while reading it, but King eventually cleared everything up. The made up words were annoying, but I was able to put up with them because they made sense in the story. I have classicfox's address and will mail this next week. Thank you for sharing Bibliocrates and Perryfran.

03/02/07 Did not find this to be one of Kings' better books. I still am a fan of his earlier works, especially "The Stand". Overall it was an interesting read. It was mailed today to dg7500 to continue on the ring.

Arrived safely. Wow, talk about timing...when it rains it pours: I just received 2 FirstLook Advance Reader Edition books earlier this week that I need to read & review w/i the next few weeks as well. YIKES! I started reading the one book this morning, and once finished will decide if I should slide this one in between or wait until both are finished before starting on "Lisey's Story". Either way, I shouldn't have a problem getting this out in the suggested time period, and I look forward to reading it very soon.
3/23: Nearly done reading (approx. 100 pages left, so should be finished this evening), and have contacted next in line for mailing info.

I haven't read much Stephen King recently, but this brought back memories of some of his early work ... dark and haunting. While not up to par with his outstanding work like "The Stand" and "The Shining", it was still a good read. It's an unusual look inside mental illness, and how we are molded by our life experiences...and genetics. As others have commented, the made-up language was a bit distracting at first, but once the reason for it became clear, it really did become a central part of the story, and seemed quite appropriate.
I've received mailing information from evenstar1217, and will have this out in the mail early next week.

I got this book through a book ring. I received it a while ago but forgot to journal! Sorry about that.
This book has been with evenstar1217 for a while now and I have not received an update on the status of the book!
::off to lostbookisland it goes::
NOTE: I will try to find another copy of this book to continue the Bookring.

This book has washed ashore at the Lost Book Island after not being heard from for many months. This new arrival will be shown to a room and be allowed a bit of rest before being introduced to the many fun things to do here at the island.
All around there are books sipping cool drinks under shady palms while other books participate in a wide variety of beach sports. There is plenty of sand, surf and sun here for all of the lost and wayward books to enjoy.
It is hoped that very soon a new journal entry will come to rescue this book from the island and send it back out into the BookCrossing world so that it may continue on its journey. It is hoped that the new journal entry will tell all the interested parties where this book has been this long time and where it will be traveling to next.
