In the process, a man named Jim Dooley begins threatening her for manuscripts of Scott's unpublished books. Khristian BroylesMs. Miller, Ms. PeilSenior English12/12/14 On page ninety-nine, the main antagonist of the story reveals himself—Jim Dooley, as stated previously. He introduces himself by calling on a number that wasn’t supposed to be listed, belonging to a telephone located upstairs, in Scott’s study-room. When she answers the phone, he refers to himself being known as, “Zack McCool;” and then proceeds to tell Lisey that he wants her books for a friend named: Joseph Woodbody. However, this is no mild encounter with the man—as again, stated before. Before receiving that phone call however, she had taken a much different phone call—in which she talked to one of her sisters. Darla urges Lisey to come to see Amanda--another sister she had. Amanda, had apparently cut herself, and even swallowed up her own blood. Upon arrival, she discovered that Amanda had cut herself again—which leads to Amanda becoming a patient in a place called, “Greenlawn.” Even later on, “Zack McCool,” creates a heightened sense of tension within the plot—most certainly a part of the rising action; and stuffs a dead cat into Lisey’s mailbox—but also accidently gives her Woodbody’s phone number. She realizes that Woodbody’s actions were a mistake—and that Zack McCool is working on his own. In the climax of the story, Amanda is released from Greenlawn by Lisey, and they drive to Lisey’s house—together; only to be confronted by Lisey into Boo’ya Moon—a place I have spoken of within my reading logs. Jim Dooley was shortly afterwards, killed by a creature making residence within Boo’ya Moon, known simply as Scott’s long boy. After all of this occurs, Lisey and Amanda transport themselves back to Lisey’s house—specifically the basement. In the denouement of the story, some of Scott’s childhood is told in a letter left for Lisey. Also, more details about who Jim Dooley really is—are discussed between Lisey and a deputy named Danny Boekman.

In my opinion, and summarized thought, the theme of; “Lisey’s Story:” Is that you shouldn’t hang on to the past—especially in the case of relationships: when you lose someone who means the stars and the moon to you. If you decide to grapple upon the past in such a case, then it can be very painful—more than torturing even. I know that this is the summary due to how I drew many parallels between, “Lisey’s Story,” and what is stated above. For example, the death of Scott causes Lisey to form a type of psychosis that occurs at particular moments outside her dreams—but continues within her dreams, and this leads to pain. I would give this book a three out of five rating, due to how the story progresses far too slowly, then too quickly—which actually leads me to being confused, until I read farther within the book. Secondly, I find myself constantly having to look at made-up words, of which there is a lot—and attempting to grasp the meaning to no avail, until as I stated above—I read farther within the book. Why was Amanda’s third psychotic breakdown worse than her other two of such, and how was she released from such a breakdown? Amanda was possessed by what remained of Scott—a ghost, that is, and then was silent when spoken to. Amanda did not cry, nor move when implored to. It was more or less as if she wasn’t there at all. Amanda was released from having such a breakdown due to how Lisey went to Boo’ya Moon, and then stopped her from looking at the beach within such. Amanda was killed, but Lisey refused to believe that it was true. When Lisey came to terms with what had happened, she broke down and cried. Amanda was screaming, and wounded herself in the leg to a state to where one would say the damage was terminal—permanent. She was released from Greenlawn hospital in a wheelchair later on in the story. Amanda had killed Darla, which led to her arrest and imprisonment on a maximum life-sentence with the charge of second-degree murder. She was free fifteen years later from said prison.
