A review by brandidean
Lisey's Story by Stephen King

4.0

Had a little trouble getting started on this one ... All the inside jokes and secret language didn't make sense until it was explained later. But once I got going, it was a good read. Sad, but not depressing. A little creepy, but not gross. The bits written in dialect were kind of irritating, including the parts where Scott or Lisey was aping a Southern accent, and especially when Scott was regressing to his childhood (I always find that a little unbelievable). But overall I liked the characters, and I liked the idea that imagination is a real physical place some people can go to. I didn't like it as much as 11/22/63, but I liked it better than The Stand.
