Two years after her husband's death, Lisey Landon decides it's time to go through his office to clear out his papers. Scott Landon was a bestselling novelist and Lisey has been besieged by people wanting to buy any of his unpublished work but she is determined not to let that happen. As she begins the process of cleaning, she is contacted by an unsavory character who claims that if she does not turn over the papers, he will make her suffer the consequences. Finding strength she did not know she had and never used during their marriage, Lisey refuses, and true to his word, "Zack McCool" begins to stalk her. Lisey begins to remember strange events from her marriage that she had suppressed and finds clues that may help save her life.
Out of all the King novels (novellas), I felt that this was the one that most intrigued me. The beautiful language that was included in this novel was a shout out to novels of the past that were truly classic.....100% grade A in my eyes King....I'm your biggest fan! blah! blah! blah! right? Oh by the way Mr. King. Cell was awesome...I'm waiting to see what you do with it...I'm assuming some that it will turn into some sort of mini-series on television according to IMDB. Oh, and Dead Zone was awesome Mr. King. Your Friend, Weslo signing off in a drunken stupor

First i'd like to just come out and state i am a most loyal fan, and will ususally choose a King novel over most anything else. This novel brought me peace of mind, in terms of my writing. when it comes to self criticism, i master in the art of mental abuse. i was watching myself, loose myself. i was sitting at the edge of the pool in Boo' Ya Moon allowing life to move past me, and not even thinking to do anything about it. i now know i cant just sit on the benches, numb and empty. i learned i cant live there, as much as i'd like to at times, and that an every-once-in-a-while visit makes for a healthy self. Definatly one of my favorites. I'll always go back, when i feel like i'm at the edge.

I didn't know anything about this book before reading it. I felt at first that was a little slow and repetitive [get to the point]. After progressing through, however, I found it to contain a very interesting and mind bending premise and plot. I am sure the deep space cowboys out there really like this book.

I absolutely loved this book, could not put it down! As usual with King's book, I felt like I was myself in another weird world as I read it, staying up late at night.

I read all your book in french (Qubec) and this one (Lisey's story) is translate by Nadine Grassie. It is illegible (unreadable) for a North American, it is the first time that I wont finish one of your book. I am really disappointed
