Lisey''s Story

Book Review by: mindmend    

Original Author: Stephen King
Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty five year marriage of the most profound and sometimes
frightening intimacy. Lisey knew there was a place Scott went -- a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it''s Lisey''s turn to face Scott''s demons, Lisey''s turn to go to Boo''ya Moon. What begins as a widow''s effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited.
In The New York Times, Janet Maslin remarked "The scope sounds modest, yet this book is haunting even by Mr. King’s standards. And he knows a thing or two about haunting." Perhaps the author''s most personal and powerful novel ever, Lisey''s Story is about the wellspings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.
A very compelling read . I give it 9 out of 10.
