A review by bbrassfield
Lisey's Story by Stephen King

5.0

I loved this novel. Such an intimate portrait of a marriage wrapped in a truly imaginative supernatural story. I've read a lot of stories and novels by Mr. King but this story might be the most personal of his that I have read. Certainly the intimacy between Scott and Lisey goes beyond what we see even with Jack and Wendy in the masterpiece that is The Shining. I love the place Mr. King creates where the Long Boy lives. It's both a fairy world, a forest of horrors and a creative and healing wellspring of both physical and mental properties. Wonderful world build in this one. If you have somehow missed Lisey's Story before, I recommend you add it to your list. Even if you are not a King fan but just a fan of good horror, Lisey's Story is brilliant. Fair warning: The writer is cooking with a lot of varied ingredients in this one and the main dishes take a while to come to fruition, but the feast is worth the patience required for completion.
