Lisey's Story by Stephen King

4.0

---

I do not know why this book moved me so much; but it did. It was handed to me as part of a module on Horror Stories I'm taking at uni; but what I expected from my first Stephen King book was so entirely different from what I got. Maybe the review by Nicholas Sparks on the front of the cover should have warned me, but it didn't. I started reading this book expecting blood, gore and hopelessness. But it wasn't that. There was some of it, sure, but there was so much more. So much more LOVE. What the two main characters feel seems so sincere, so real, while by no means innocent.
This book will stay with me for a long time, that I am sure of.
