#74 - read all of Stephen King's books



Lisey's Story by Stephen King
i actually started this book back in July and i just couldn't get into it at first.
i know it was partly because i wasn't really reading anything at the time.
but it was also because King was driving me nuts with this one.

now, don't get me wrong, i love Stephen King. he's one of my favorite authors.
but some of his quirks were making me batty.
he used too many of his made up words/terms/phrases for my taste.
it made it hard for me to connect to the characters.
and the constant shifting of time periods.
sometimes, it really annoyed me.

well, a few weeks ago, i checked out the book again
and i was determined to finish it before i "maxed out" my renewals.
once i got going again, i really got into the story.
the jumping around in the timeline still irked me at times.
but overall i still enjoyed the story.
however, i would only recommend it to King fans.

right now, i'm at:


40 / 55 words. 73% done!
