| I have also read and thoroughly enjoyed "11/22/63", but I must say that of all of his 'more recent' books, I was completely overwhelmed by "Lisey's Story". I received that as a Christmas gift the year it was released and started reading it that day. When I turned the last page and finished reading it, I flipped the book and began reading it again. I'm not sure if Mr. King intended to touch me the way I was so touched by that book, but I was completely blown away by it. When I finished it the second time the neighbor borrowed it, and she confessed that whatever I saw in it she didn't get. I felt sorry for her. I've read that book five times since that Christmas and each time I am touched by "Lisey's Story". That story has angered me, enchanted me, hurt me, made me feel like singing and dancing, touched me, roughed me up, made me feel better, made me feel worse, and has always left me feeling different. Parts of that story are going with me to the grave and I sincerely hope that was what he envisioned when he put pen to paper. Sadly, as my neighbor told me, you either got it or you didn't. Luckily I did. Thank you Mr. King. |
