GOODREADS SUMMARY
Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband, Scott, two years ago, after a twenty-five year marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Scott was an award-winning, bestselling novelist and a very complicated man. Early in their relationship, before they married, Lisey had to learn from him about books and blood and bools. Later, she understood that there was a place Scott went--a place that both terrified and healed him, that 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 efforts to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited. Perhaps King's most personal and powerful novel, Lisey's Story is about the wellsprings of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.
MY THOUGHTS
I really had the hard time reading this book. Not only the writing style confused me a lot but I cannot grasp majority of what was happening in the story. I felt so disconnected with the characters and I kept on reading some paragraph over and over again just to understand what the author was trying to say. It was weird in all sense I could think of.
I loved King's books. This is the only thing so far that really disappoints me not because he did a bad job on this book but because majority of the time, I just feel so dumb for not comprehending enough.
Anyway, I personally do not recommend this if you are a kind of reader who likes an easy flow and easy to understand writing style. Just not my cup of tea. *sigh*
Thank You so much @definitelybooks and Pansing for the complimentary copy of this book!
