David,
Thanks so much for this thoughtful review! After reading it, I'm really looking forward to reading this book. So many of the other reviews I read focused on comparing this book to King's previous ones, I appreciate your focus on the merits of the novel (whatever genre it ends up being) itself.

I agree wholeheartedly with your review. I fell in love with Lisey and Scott and when I finished their story, I had to start over again because I was not ready to say goodbye. I can't think of another book that I have ever done that with. Truly a beautiful love story.
