tenel_kaI finished the book in the car in the parking lot today on my lunch break. Dude.
FJKHDhajkhsdjfhasjdfh j hajsdfh THIS BOOK.
Here is my spoiler-free gush of Stephen King's Lisey's Story! Just for you! And you all know how much I love spoilers for everything, so that is how bad I want anyone and everyone to pick this book up -- I'm keeping spoilers away! NO WAI!!111 XD
First off, here is your spoiler-free summary that is more professional than my gushing (maybe cause it's a publisher's summary, hurrr)! Just so you know what the book is actually about. ;D
Lisey Debusher Landon lost her husband Scott two years ago, after a twenty five year marriage of the most profound and sometimes frightening intimacy. Lisey knew there was a place Scott went -- a place that both terrified and healed him, could eat him alive or give him the ideas he needed in order to live. Now it's Lisey's turn to face Scott's demons, Lisey's turn to go to Boo'ya Moon. What begins as a widow's effort to sort through the papers of her celebrated husband becomes a nearly fatal journey into the darkness he inhabited.
Book = Wow. I don't really know what else to say. D:
All the shit that Scott Landon went through and all the ways he shared it with Lisey and the actual Lisey's Story, I can't even fangasm enough. They way everything fit together and meshed was great. I also love all the little tidbits here and there on the words they use to/for each other and the little idioms Scott and Lisey had (SOWISA, Scott's hair, "Reality is Ralph!", the "african" blanket, bool!, etc.) -- at first you're like, "What the shit...?" And I know a lot of people couldn't get over all the things like that thrown in because they must not know how to immerse themselves in a book. :P I love the fact that Scott got Lisey saying "smuck/smucking/smuck this" in place of "fuck/fucking/fuck this" -- I find myself using "smuck" now.
Also, the way Lisey calls back to all these moments in their lives. Germany where "anything and everything that could go wrong went wrong", Nashville where Deep Space Cowboy GAC pulled a gun on Scott (not a spoiler! XD), the childhood recollections from Pennsylvania, and I don't even want to get into Kentucky. ;-; Then the trips to Boo'ya Moon. Holy crap. Gorgeous. Don't even get me started on the insanity that is the Debusher sisters either. Lisey, Amanda, Darla and Cantata (and even Jodi XD) are like the epitome of sister. It is perfect. XD
And this wouldn't be Stephen King without blood and the crazy, yes? Yes! (Which is why we love! <333) Let's just say there is Lisey, afucker smucker "named" "Zack McCool" and a can opener. I could totally feel her pain just by reading about it. kdfjl;asklfjdaksjdf It still makes me hurt. And it fits in with the story, yessssss. Pain. D:
Of course, it also wouldn't be Stephen King without all the crazy, raw human emotion -- much like that found in The Body (which later was adapted to become Stand By Me. LEECHES!) and The Long Walk, which is another reason I'm in love with this book. It's about love, loss and the beauty of the human imagination. Stephen King's version of a love story. And GOOD LORD what a story it is. LOOOOOOOOVE.
(OMG and when you get to that flashback, the one you know is coming throughout the whole book and you're dreading it and dreading it but you still want to know how it happened... damn. I felt like stupid Whiny Amber from Big Brother cause I was bawling, yo. I was reading the book in bed laying down, and there was like a puddle of tears pooling at my collarbone. D: I WAS ALL WIBBLY. And then of course, the next day I go to work with huge ["Puffickly huh-yooge" -- as Scott Landon would say] puffy eyes and all the while I'm thinking, "MOOOOORE. I WANT TO READ MOOOOOOOOORE. GIVE ME THE BOOOOOOOOOK~")
So yeah, when I get back from D*C, expect a fanmix for this book -- as well as the one for The Long Walk. The songs are all finished for both, I just need all my quotes from Lisey's Story. And to finish all the covers. The Long Walk cover only needs 19 more boys! 19! I have 81 on there and it's takingfucking smucking FOREVER. BUT... LOVE. XD
SCOTT + LISEY = OTP, AMIRITE. They are the definition, yo. And again, husband like Scott, plz.
P.S. I am totally getting married on November 19th. And since the first Saturday that is November 19th is in 2011, that will be my wedding day. OKAY. SET. (I totally feel like Elliot from Scrubs with all her wedding plans a billion years before she needs them. XD)
P.S.S. The reason Scott and Lisey wouldn't have kids made me cry like a bitch. D:
OKAY SERIOUSLY I'M SPENT. I HIGHLY RECCCCCOOOOMMMMMEND THIS BOOOOOK LIEK WOOT. Yo.
(P.S.S.S. Everything the same. I love you. OMG ;-;!)
