Everyone has to know Lisey's Story

     Lisey's Story, another novel by Stephen King, revolves around a love rooted in places deeper and farther than one can imagine.  My favorite line in the story was on the page where it was mentioned that even monsters know how to love. Monsters, yes, of different kinds, brought by choice or by an ugly fate. The book was full of monsters. One kind will be that which scares you in the dark, be it an uninvited grip from a cold hand or that imaginary bloodshot eyes peering from nowhere. The other kind is among us, blending gracefully in the crowd and waiting their sweet time to pounce on their victims.  Monsters encircled Lisey and Scott Landon's marriage.

     Scott Landon, a famous writer, died earlier than he should have, leaving Lisey with a past she was afraid to face. Lisey embarked on a journey of rediscovering the forgotten closets of her marriage in order to face a monster which threatens her present.

     When I read the pages, the gnawing anticipation of what's to come filled my senses. I was mostly scared of what I'll discover. Knowing Stephen , the hazy life stories of the character from the beginning was a form of torture to readers like me. You just can't put down the book for a moment knowing that the monsters in the book have not been killed yet. You just sort of know that you have to read the part where the heroine triumphs over the monsters to give your mind a rest. 

     The most tear-jerking moment was reading about Scott's family history. It's just the truest form of what a sad story really is.  There was love, yet darkness broke them apart. Many sacrifices were made, leaving Scott the lone survivor of a great tragedy.There's still this melancholic pang in me mixed with fright and pity. 

     And Lisa the heroine, Scott deserved to be with her. Her unconditional love became his home for so long. She also stood as a pillar of strength and courage for her sisters.

     Lisey's story was a read with a fair share of terror, hope, sadness, and love amidst the darkness, a valuable story worth for anyone to know about.
