I may pick this up again in the future but at present I have too many books I want to read to waste time struggling through one that doesn't really grip me.
Although I didn't initially think I'd like this book, sticking with it definitely paid off. A slow starter for sure, but after the first hundred pages or so, things really start happening as only King can make them. I definitely recommend this book, but it's definitely one of those with which you'...
It took me a while to get into this book because of the language Lisey and Scott use. It's not immediately clear that the words are shared words between a husband and wife, instead it seems like Lisey just refuses to swear, saying smuck instead fuck and since she's nearly 60 it seems a bit ridiculou...
I've been reading a lot of "New" Stephen King lately, books that I've put off reading because I was afraid that they would not be as good as "Old" Stephen King.

King weaves several time lines, Landon’s bizarre childhood and his relationship with his fath...
I used to be a huge Stephen King fanboy, but I think he was replaced when I discovered Neil Gaiman. I don’t gush over King like I used to; in fact, I’ve stopped buying his books all together, and I used to be first in line at the bookstores when he had a new book out.
