Lisey's Story

Author: Stephen King

I haven't read much Stephen King, and I'm not sure why. His works that I have read have been really, really good: Different Season, Dolores Claiborne. Lisey's Story continues this streak of very good-ness.

One of the reasons I like it so much is that it persuades me to suspend my disbelief so easily. Although it begins, seemingly, in this universe and only later progresses into fantasyland, at no point did I hesitate to follow said progression.

If I had any complaint about the book, it would be about the characters. They're all right, but I find them a bit colorless. And this despite the fact that King said he was "a fool for Lisey; I kind of fell in love with her," in this interview. Odd.
