Ramon’s Reviews > Lisey's Story > Status Update

Into the home stretch, the overall story is finally taking shape. This story seems personal, like he's working through his own death rather than his partner's. We're finally into the otherworldly stuff that has been hinted at, as Lisey continues to investigate her forgotten memories. It's quietly devastating, but pretty meandering. I do think I know how the bad guy will go. We'll see if I'm right.

For some reason, this is really slow going. It has King's best writing, that effortless narration and character development, how he's able to wrote so specifically, using dialect and character based slang to create a whole person, but for whatever reason, when I'm not reading it, I'm not thinking about reading it. I'm trying to leave it close to me so I'll pick it up more, because I do like it.
