Valerie (waterbearer) - reviewed Very LONG and busy with a lot of those annoying repeated phrases King likes..... on 3/26/2009 + 62 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

This is a great story but not one of my King favorites. I admit, I'll read anything that King puts out and will try to grab it right away in hardback upon publishing. I did not like the Lisey character (not to mention the nickname annoyed me). I also thought there was a lot of unnecessary detail throughout the book which contributed to its mammoth 600+ pages. It's a horror story and a love story. If you're a diehard King fan, I'd recommend it. If not, and you're just looking for a good scary story I'd look somewhere else.
