The first-person components. Mare Winningham reads Lisey's Story. Makes sense to have a female reader since this is such a female novel. He read parts of Hearts in Atlantis, too.

Who reads Lisey's Story on the audio version? I really like it when King reads his own books, but I don't think he's done that since Bag Of Bones. -A.J. Hey, Bev.

One of the things that's really struck me about it is the way he explains What Has Happened in the past - to Scott and to Lisey. He doesn't just have Lisey flash back to earlier times and then lay it all out plainly for the reader to grasp, because that's not how it would happen in real life. A lot of times, writers use the flashback as a way to explain the plot, to move things along. Not with King here, uh uh. He has Lisey remembering without framing it in a context the reader will understand, because the flashback is for HER, not for the reader. I’m very happy with it so far.

My review of it appears in the current issue of Cemetery Dance magazine. However, in brief, I think it's one of the five best books King has written, perhaps one of the three best. Vastly superior to <i>Cell</i>. I read Lisey’s Story many months ago, thanks to the good folks at Scribner. My review of it appears in the current issue of Cemetery Dance magazine.

If so, what did you think? I'm about halfway through it, so please don't spoil me! Have you already read Lisey’s Story, or is the audiobook your first look at it? If so, what did you think?
