Review title: my least favorite of all his books
Product review: This is in my opinion Stephen King's weakest effort, and I have read and thoroughly enjoyed much of his work. I consider him to be one of the greatest living authors and story tellers of our time with unparalleled talent. This novel comes off as a solid short story, stretched out into 500 pages. There just isn't a lot there. The tale of Lisey and her now deceased husband is compelling, but it is so sparsely planted throughout the novel that it was like watching 10 minutes of a good movie every month until it is completely viewed. I was unable to become engaged either to the story or the characters. Rare for me, I put this book down at some point a hundred pages or so in, and read another book then came back to it weeks later and only continued because it was a King novel. I was able to stick faithfully to the Dark Tower series, which must be 5000+ pages, easier than I could to 100 pages of this book. I did not find compelling characters or story in this book.
