Summary
Lisey Landon lost her husband Scott two years ago， after a twenty-five-year marriage of profound， sometimes frightening intimacy。 Scott was a celebrated， award-winning， novelist。 And a complex man。 Lisey knew there was a dark place where her husband ventured to face his demons。 Boo'ya Moon is what Scott called it; a realm that both terrified and healed him， that could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed to write and live。 Now， it's Lisey's turn to face her husband's demons。 And what begins as a widow's effort to sort through her husband's effects， becomes a perilous journey into the heart of darkness

I loved this story so much。 I felt deeply connected to a world I'm very familiar with and often times wish I can stay in because this current world doesn't feel real to me。 The love story between husband and wife also reminds me of the relationship I have with my beloved husband。 It's a once in a lifetime thing where one can find their soul mate in a life that has been shrouded in darkness for so long， yet when they bring the light in whatever shape and form to help you find your way to some goo I loved this story so much。 I felt deeply connected to a world I'm very familiar with and often times wish I can stay in because this current world doesn't feel real to me。 The love story between husband and wife also reminds me of the relationship I have with my beloved husband。 It's a once in a lifetime thing where one can find their soul mate in a life that has been shrouded in darkness for so long， yet when they bring the light in whatever shape and form to help you find your way to some good that speaks something of itself。 。。。more

Debo admitir que tenía este libro hace unos años en mi biblioteca sin leer y me animé a hacerlo por la adaptación que realizó Apple tv+ aunque ya alguien me lo había recomendado。A título personal me gustó mucho la historia， aunque siento que le sobran unas 100 páginas （la versión de bolsillo tiene la letra pequeña y se dificulta más）， efectivamente es uno de los libros más personales de SK， no es una historia de terror （SK no solo escribe terror）。 Al principio nos perdemos mucho con términos com Debo admitir que tenía este libro hace unos años en mi biblioteca sin leer y me animé a hacerlo por la adaptación que realizó Apple tv+ aunque ya alguien me lo había recomendado。A título personal me gustó mucho la historia， aunque siento que le sobran unas 100 páginas （la versión de bolsillo tiene la letra pequeña y se dificulta más）， efectivamente es uno de los libros más personales de SK， no es una historia de terror （SK no solo escribe terror）。 Al principio nos perdemos mucho con términos como dáliva， mal rollo， boo'ya moon y es difícil entender que es y que no es real para el protagonista， muy avanzada la historia todo se empieza a poner más claro y te das cuenta que el trasfondo de la historia trata de amor y aceptar los demonios de los que queremos。Al antagonista le falta peso pero el real balance de la historia llega con la historia de amor y aceptación de Lisey y Scott。Gran libro。 。。。more

A little to long and kind of creepy。

In true King form， this book was creepy and intriguing。 Unlike many of his other books， however， there was more of a sci-fi element and a lot of heart in this novel。 It was very well done and I would recommend it to anyone。

It has a longer fuse than most King novels， but when it finally goes off， it’s the best firework display you’ll ever see。 Great novel。 I’ll add: it makes me want to reread “Rose Madder。” I suspect they could be in the same universe。 I can’t say exactly why， but they feel very connected。

3。75*Very good story， there are other Stephen King books I prefer more but still worth reading。 I picked this one up so I could watch the limited series。 Hope the movie is s good as the book， it contains some big name actors so I hope it lives up to the hype。

Le iba a poner dos estrellas pero las últimas 50 páginas lo eleva a tres。 Una historia atípica de King que podría haber sido una excelente novela corta pero sus 600 páginas lo hacen excesiva y difícil de avanzar。 Sin dudas es un libro muy personal que termina siendo una historia de amor en un entorno de locura， oscuridad y dolor。 No lo recomiendo para iniciarse en el mundo de Stephan King。

Creo que una novela como esta Historia de Lisey solo se puede entender cuando nos olvidamos que King está detrás de ella。 Cuando derribamos todo tipo de prejuicios que tengamos hacia el autor y abandonemos la idea de que sus historias están cargadas de todo tipo de horrores y situaciones macabras， de personajes atormentados， obsesionados con ideas que rompen toda coherencia con la realidad， con mundos llenos de peligro de los que te conviene alejarte， huir de ellos y esconderte， aunque siempre e Creo que una novela como esta Historia de Lisey solo se puede entender cuando nos olvidamos que King está detrás de ella。 Cuando derribamos todo tipo de prejuicios que tengamos hacia el autor y abandonemos la idea de que sus historias están cargadas de todo tipo de horrores y situaciones macabras， de personajes atormentados， obsesionados con ideas que rompen toda coherencia con la realidad， con mundos llenos de peligro de los que te conviene alejarte， huir de ellos y esconderte， aunque siempre encuentres en ellos un pequeño escondrijo en el que te sientas cobijado。Porque todo eso aparece en esta y muchas otras novelas de Stephen King pero， si tan solo fuera eso， La historia de Lisey no sería tan especial para el autor como lo es para el lector que conecte con esta rareza。 En esta obra el escritor nos invita a adentrarnos en la que posiblemente sea su historia más personal hablándonos de las emociones más básicas que puede experimentar el ser humano。 El amor y todo lo que le rodea， la confianza， el compromiso， la complicidad， la comprensión， la empatía， el perdón…y el agradecimiento por haber tenido la suerte de experimentar todo ese tipo de sensaciones。Pero al mismo tiempo King nos invita a adentrarnos en el proceso creativo del que se valen las personas para poder plasmar un mundo interior muy， muy personal que， sin embargo， resulta cercano y reconocible。 El autor quiere que los lectores miren a su interior y se pierdan en todos esos recuerdos que conforman la propia esencia de cada uno de ellos， que sean capaces de reconocer la belleza de cada una de las piezas mágicas de una vida plagada de momentos únicos y maravillosos， que asuman los caminos que le han llevado a ellos y que los contemplen con admiración y cariño pero que， al mismo tiempo， les recuerda los peligros que supone anclarse a ellos para siempre y olvidarse del presente， de la realidad， de lo que realmente tendría que importarles。Todo ese universo complejo en el que nos perdemos cuando repasamos los momentos más felices de nuestra vida， pueden llevarnos a la locura。 Y mucha parte de esta obra habla de ese momento en el que el mal rollo nos atrapa de manera definitiva para desconectar la frágil línea que existe entre realidad y ficción。 King desborda todo su mundo para que entendamos que， ni tan siquiera esta novela， tiene que aislarnos del mundo que nos rodea， que tenemos que ser conscientes de que， aun sintiendo el calor de los recuerdos， uno tiene que afrontar la fría realidad que continúa。Pero， sobre todo， esta novela es una de las más sinceras y acertadas recreaciones de lo que es el amor。 Un sentimiento puro que existe entre dos personas que se asocian recreando un universo al que nadie podrá nunca analizar de manera racional。 Ese torbellino de emociones en el que inventamos palabras， en el que encontramos una canción， un lugar， un tiempo en el que fuimos felices y que， con el tiempo， se convierte en recuerdo。 King vierte en estos personajes toda la complejidad que envuelve a un sentimiento tan complejo como es el amor， incomprensible y confuso visto desde afuera pero tan añorado por aquellos que lo hemos experimentado。Tan solo por eso la novela merece toda la atención del mundo， pero no podemos olvidar que una novela de King no se quedará tan solo， que no es poco， en esta compleja relación existente entre Lisey y su marido Scott。 El autor quiere también meternos como viene siendo habitual en sus historias el miedo en el cuerpo y， en esta ocasión， se vale de esta poderosa historia de amor para luego llevarnos a unos mundos mucho más oscuros que el lector tendrá que descubrir。 Puesto que esos mundos maravillosos a los que nos podemos acercar con la imaginación pueden oscurecerse al llegar al ocaso。 King nos adentra en una historia mucho más terrorífica a la que nos tiene acostumbrados， invitándonos a descubrirla poco a poco hasta que seamos nosotros mismos los que juzguemos los hechos que nos quiere narrar。 Todo este complejo mundo lo narra de un modo que llevará a los lectores impacientes a abandonar la trama a las primeras de cambio， ya que no será hasta bien adentrada la historia donde aparezca el momento en el que entendamos algo de esta delicia de King。 Un salto de fe que pide a sus lectores para que entiendan que cada uno de sus personajes es tan frágil como lo son los recuerdos， los sueños， la imaginación， la obsesión y la cordura。 Si tú eres uno de esos locos， la novela te fascinará como pocas。 Pero tienes que tener cuidado y buscar tu propio ancla， no vaya a ser que nunca regreses de esos mundos tan llenos de pesadillas。 。。。more

I listened to this as an audible book - the narrator was outstanding。Although this has the expected supernatural element， Lisey's Story is， at its heart， a love story and an exploration of grief。 Yes， I too was irritated by the weird baby-talk that Lisey and her husband employed， but maybe some couples do that？ Anyway， it's a small irritant in a book that I found particularly moving。 I listened to this as an audible book - the narrator was outstanding。Although this has the expected supernatural element， Lisey's Story is， at its heart， a love story and an exploration of grief。 Yes， I too was irritated by the weird baby-talk that Lisey and her husband employed， but maybe some couples do that？ Anyway， it's a small irritant in a book that I found particularly moving。 。。。more

Pretty mediocre Stephen King book。 I found the word usage somewhat annoying （Bool， Gunky， Smucking）。 I realize the author was trying to capture these characters but it didn't work for me。 Much worse was that the plot was slow to develop （at least 1/3 of book before anything interesting） and once it got "good"， it didn't get thatgood。 Pretty mediocre Stephen King book。 I found the word usage somewhat annoying （Bool， Gunky， Smucking）。 I realize the author was trying to capture these characters but it didn't work for me。 Much worse was that the plot was slow to develop （at least 1/3 of book before anything interesting） and once it got "good"， it didn't get thatgood。 。。。more

The book was good — much more introspective than many King novels however when you’re reading a Stephen King book it’s unfortunately going to be compared to his other works and this one just wasn’t my favorite。 I enjoyed the internal thoughts and emotions from Lisey’s perspective but it kind of leveled out my intrigue about 1/2 way through。

While this book would have received one and a half stars if possible， I figured with such a low rating an explanation was in order。Going into Lisey's Story I knew it was one of， if not the， most polarizing of Stephen King's books。 This is why I put off reading it for ten years and only picked it up because a。） I was running out of TBR King books and b。） the adaptation was announced。 Having said that， I also thought Rose Madder had it's share of critics and I really enjoyed it。 Unfortunately， the While this book would have received one and a half stars if possible， I figured with such a low rating an explanation was in order。Going into Lisey's Story I knew it was one of， if not the， most polarizing of Stephen King's books。 This is why I put off reading it for ten years and only picked it up because a。） I was running out of TBR King books and b。） the adaptation was announced。 Having said that， I also thought Rose Madder had it's share of critics and I really enjoyed it。 Unfortunately， the same cannot be said for this one。My general feeling on Lisey's Story is that someone tried to replicate King's style， but instead of matching it they cranked all of his quirks up to an 11。 The amount of idioms and unconventional choices was just too high for me。 While I can understand the charm of fully understanding another couple's relationship through their love language， I can only read "bool" and "smucking" so many times。 Not to mention despite how many times "SOWISA" was used， I will never fully remember what it stands for。 My biggest issue， however， is that the plot was stretched too thin。 There were some really interesting characters， such as Lisey's sister Amanda， but there were too many flashbacks to Scott's past that took away from present events。 By trying to weave together the past with Scott and his abusive father with the present situation of Lisey's grief， an unstable family member， and Zack McCool's obsession it left little room to fully expand on any of the plotlines。 The most fleshed out character was Scott， but since we knew how his story ends right at the beginning there was very little attachment to what he went through。There was a lot of potential with Lisey's Story and I would still love to have a book from King that really delves into self-harm further， but if someone was looking to explore the theme of grief I would much sooner point them to Pet Sematary。 。。。more

A tedious slog。 King’s gift for introspection and his love of language is bogged down by the unwieldy， ridiculous plot and cartoony villain。 I never felt like it did a good job at illustrating Lisey indepently of her famous husband— when all is said and done， she just exists in his shadow。 She is an object to move the book forward （even down to her gratuitous， even for King， torture scene）。 And don’t get me started on the unvented phrases between Lisey and Scott （“smucking， “bad-gunky，” “Bool，” A tedious slog。 King’s gift for introspection and his love of language is bogged down by the unwieldy， ridiculous plot and cartoony villain。 I never felt like it did a good job at illustrating Lisey indepently of her famous husband— when all is said and done， she just exists in his shadow。 She is an object to move the book forward （even down to her gratuitous， even for King， torture scene）。 And don’t get me started on the unvented phrases between Lisey and Scott （“smucking， “bad-gunky，” “Bool，” to name a few） that are cute the first time they’re mentioned， only to overstay their welcome。 。。。more

First 350 pages were hard to trudge through。 I am a huge King fan and always find his stories easy to read， but for some reason， this was was a tough one。 The last 100 or so pages were great and saved the story。 Lisey and Scott’s love in the end really shown through。 Also， this was my first audible， so I don’t know if that affected my thoughts on this or not。 Long Live the King！

On one level， this is a book about dealing with grief。 It starts two years after the death of Lisey Landon's husband， Scott。 Scott was a bestselling writer and popular speaker， and Lisey is still dealing with all the papers he left behind， and with those who want those papers for their university libraries or so they can publish more works about Scott。 But bit by bit King fills in more of the backstory， sometimes hinting at parts he'll only fill in a hundred pages or more later。 Scott was almost On one level， this is a book about dealing with grief。 It starts two years after the death of Lisey Landon's husband， Scott。 Scott was a bestselling writer and popular speaker， and Lisey is still dealing with all the papers he left behind， and with those who want those papers for their university libraries or so they can publish more works about Scott。 But bit by bit King fills in more of the backstory， sometimes hinting at parts he'll only fill in a hundred pages or more later。 Scott was almost killed by a gunman during a library dedication in Tennessee， but Lisey saves him before the gunman can get in a second shot。 Scott comes from a family whose members suffer from mental illness， but Lisey has a sister who also has problems。 Scott also seems to be somehow connected to something supernatural -- again only hinted at at first （Scott's wounds seem to heal faster than makes sense）， but eventually explored in more detail。 King does a fine job assembling the pieces of the tapestry。 Finally， Lisey is threatened by a madman， who promises to torture and kill her if she doesn't turn over Scott's papers immediately to a professor the madman got to know in a bar。 Much of the tension in the last third of the book is Lisey's dealings with this potential killer。 The back and forth nature of the book does require the reader to pay more close attention than in most thrillers （I think this is why some readers have called it rambling and confusing）， but it does reward the effort。 。。。more

A Wonderful Love Story Believe it or not， one of the things I really enjoy about Stephen King is that he often gets love right。 The ways in which he navigates relationship often resonate with me and this is the case with Lisey’s Story。 The relationship between Scott and his abusive father。 The relationship between young brothers。 The relationship amongst 5 sisters as they grow into adulthood and middle age。 The relationship between Lisey and her husband。 They all work for me and showcase King’s A Wonderful Love Story Believe it or not， one of the things I really enjoy about Stephen King is that he often gets love right。 The ways in which he navigates relationship often resonate with me and this is the case with Lisey’s Story。 The relationship between Scott and his abusive father。 The relationship between young brothers。 The relationship amongst 5 sisters as they grow into adulthood and middle age。 The relationship between Lisey and her husband。 They all work for me and showcase King’s heart in a way that reflects his goodness。 King’s writing style was a little clunky （different than other novels） at times， but it grew on me。 He has developed a language between Scott and Lisey’s that is unique to them and which often grows out of long term relationships。 This is great， but it kind of takes a little while to be read-in to their world。 。。。more

I read this book years ago。 I started reading it again， not remembering I'd read it before。 I was reading my "new" book club choice when an incident occurred that triggered a memory - the protagonist received some urgently requested ice。 I knew I had read that before。 So I must have read this book before although nothing else was familiar。 But slowly， the very general outline of the book came back into my memory。 For now， I'm quitting the book in favor of something genuinely new to me。 They say I read this book years ago。 I started reading it again， not remembering I'd read it before。 I was reading my "new" book club choice when an incident occurred that triggered a memory - the protagonist received some urgently requested ice。 I knew I had read that before。 So I must have read this book before although nothing else was familiar。 But slowly， the very general outline of the book came back into my memory。 For now， I'm quitting the book in favor of something genuinely new to me。 They say that an Alzheimer's patient needs only one good book to be entertained - they can read it over and over again。 Maybe Lisey's Story is a 4-star read。 。。。more
