Lisey's Story: A Novel 442 reviews
Stephen King
Pocket, 2007
Longtime King reader
+ A Rich Read
+ Steven King
I have read almost all of King's books, and Lisey's story is one of my favorites. I think he really crosses into some great literature here. It starts out a bit slow, but gains serious momentum. I thought the backstory was the most engaging part of the story. King always does seem to have alot of ...

I just dont understand why some people could call this work boring or disappointing. to me it is probably grisham's best (together with "painted house". human, down on earth...I just wished I could be a lawyer to be able to do the same. just hope to get grisham's book on kindle someday.

Daddy's Girl62 reviews
Lisa Scottoline
Harper, 2008
Not the typical Scottline book
+ Don't give up on this one... it DOES get better!
+ Coming out of your shell - explosively!
Not the typical Scottline. The herion, although strong, seems conflicted. This does not take away from the plot, which in Scottline fashion has many twists and turns. Can't figure out the reason for the title. Who picked it out? Anyway it's still worth reading.
