Journal Entry 1 by goatgrrl from New Westminster, British Columbia Canada on Wednesday, August 29, 2007

Lisey's Story was a good page-turner -- I got through it in a few days, in marked departure from earlier s-l-o-w summer reading (it's 600+ pages, but the print is big!). I liked the fact that the novel's progatonist is a woman, and her late husband -- a kind of secondary main character, notwithstanding that he's been dead for a year -- a popular novelist. (I always assume the novelists in King's books and stories provide a kind of portal into what it must be like to be Stephen King himself.)

Still, either I've gotten older over the years, or King's conceptualization of his books (it's not the writing, exactly) has gotten weaker. Or both. I'd recommend Lisey's Story as the best of King's books I've read in some time, but that's pretty faint praise.
