Book Reviews of Lisey's Story
Book Review: A Rich Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I see many people complaining about the language. I think the use of the personal intermarriage lexicon is a further rebuttal of the modern shallow manner in which people interact just as Cell was a comment on what he deemed to be the detrimental impact of the ubiquitous gadget phone on public life. Mr King embraces characters who are in touch with visceral experiences rather than carefully packaged prefab interaction. The wry humor and worldly wisdom throughout the novel is a fitting antidote to the mundane spiritless outlook espoused by modern corporate culture. The point of the novel is to celebrate imagination as much as love. I didn't think this was a perfect story by any means. I question whether anyone could really convince themselves that they intend to permanently turn their back on a fairy world with a magic healing pool. But this tale had a LOT of heart.
