King paints a realistic picture of the unpredictable nature of love, and the intensity between Lisey and Scott grips your heart. <blockquote>“And she sees that the moonlight is losing its orange glow.

He has a distinctive ability to vividly paint events and settings, creating an immediate connection to the story. <blockquote>“Because who would ever want to get close to another person if they knew how hard the letting-go part was? In your heart they only die a little at a time, don’t they? Like a plant when you go away on a trip and forget to ask a neighbor to poke in once in awhile with the old watering-can, and its so sad.” - Stephen King, ‘Lisey’s Story’</blockquote> 'Lisey's Story' serves as a reminder of why I love to dive into a book, to experience new worlds.
