Lisey's Story
by Stephen King
Lisey's Story starts off very slowly and almost lost me, but it picks up about halfway through. The book suffers from being written in King's worst era (2002-2008) which includes such clunkers as From a Buick 8, The Colorado Kid, Cell, and Duma Key. It also reminded me of two of his other weaker novels Gerald's Game and Rose Madder. The story in Lisey's Story isn't necessarily bad, but it's never fun or exciting. There is an excessive amount of time devoted to character development and it feels like there is never any juice to story. If King had shaved off 200 pages I think I would have liked this novel much more.
