This is another one of King's books where action is lacking, but the character development is superb. I'm kind of "eh" about it myself. If you want weirdness, though, then reading this would definitely be worth your while. 
 One thing I did love about this story is that at one part Lisey is remembering a memory of a memory of a memory of a memory. She is four memories deep. I found that to be particularly awesome, myself. Check it.
