DNF @ 60%

This is the first Stephen King book I've had to DNF and I am gutted! I wanted to love this but my god was this a drag to try and get through.

La historia de Lisey nos adentro al mundo de escape de un niño, un mundo que como todo en la vida tiene una parte obscura y fría como la noche y una tan brillante que es casi cegadora.

Lisey tras perder a su marido comienza a vivir experiencias que la llevan al borde de la locura, a base de recuerdos que ha tratado de olvidar, y que se le clavan como cuchillos cuando los invoca.

Es un libro que habla del amor, del corazón claro y obscuro que habita en cada uno de nosotros y de las conexiones intangibles que existen entre nosotros y todo lo que amamos, tocando fibras sensibles hasta el final, La Historia de Lisey es un libro altamente recomendable.

This is like a 2.5⭐ for me. I felt like the story didn't make much sense and that some words and expressions were ridiculous. The title doesn't make sense either, because the book is not about Lisey and her story. It is about how Lisey learned his dead husband's story... If this was my first King, it would be the last... Very disappointing.

Wowza that was one of the most challenging books I’ve ever read lol. Glad it’s over to say the least but the writing was impressively complex, hence the 3/5 stars.

This book is amazing! I considered giving it 4 stars because it was very hard to get into. However, once I was in I WAS IN. Just amazing ok- read it.
