Book 40 of 52 -- Lisey's Story by Stephen King


I am just chugging along here.

Lisey's Story by Stephen King was the latest long winded book that I read.

Lisey's Story is a departure from most of the stuff that King writes. It's subtle and deeper and appears... at least on the surface... to be a tribute to his wife.

The flip side however, is that I think the book is really about himself as the female lead character (Lisey) is forced to discover more about herself while examining the life of her dead husband.

The book is sweet at its core but uses too much of a made up language to make its point.

There were times that I wish I had a study companion or a dictionary at my side just to understand the language.
