I found this book hard to get into at first, had to push myself to stay with it, but I'm glad I did in the end - it's a haunting love story. I read it at night and have to admit it kept me awake long after I had finished it, thinking about the long boy with the endless piebald side.

I loved this book!! King wrote a good love story, was a little slow in beginning, developed the story a little too much in some areas but then drew me in. Would recommend!

I loved this book..it was a little slow to get into but really worth it. I liked the flow and rhythmn of the words, the local accents, It just pulls you in. Lisey is strong,Scott as a child broke my heart. The love between Amanda and Lisey says a lot about sisters..
If you don't understand a word-you will-just be a little patient-Scott likes to play with words, local accents and some parts of the book are a dance of words, rhythmn and local idioms.
I recommend it!

This book starts out really slow. However, I stuck with it. Stephen King is my favorite author and I know that sometimes it takes a while to get through the backstory. The story is amazing. King's imagination never ceases to amaze me. The characters in this book are very real and you get to know them very well. I would recommend this book to any true Stephen King fan. You will NOT be disappointed.

I love King, so I know he can be a little long winded and a little too into details for my taste, that being said, I still couldn't "get into" this one or find a plot 250 pages into it so I gave up.

I'm usually a King fan, but this fell short of the mark. The oddness factor was simply for the point of being odd, it seemed. Seemed to just be rambling.
