 2008-10-11 - Duma Key by Stephen King
I'm a King fan but lets face it all the stuff he has written has not been up to his GOOD work. Duma Key should go down as one of his better than GOOD work. Character development, plot and conclusion all work together like a symphony. This book has a BIG story to tell and it's not a short story. I was all INTO it from start to finish. You will not be disappointed in this book.
 2008-10-09 - A very nice book to read !
You can say that Duma Key is not the best book of Mr King but I can tell you that it is a very nice book to read.
As a constant reader of my favourite author I can say that it is another good joyride you are going through.
The first half is the best. The ending is not good enough but....it's Stephen King. So enjoy it.
2008-10-03 - Best King Book In Years!
Stephen King once said that his works were the literary equivilent of "a Big Mac and fries". I could not disagree more. In the long run, I think Mr. King will be considered one of the more important writers of our time. He is a master at suspense, character development, and pacing. Duma Key ranks up there with some of his other masterpieces (the Stand, the Shining, It...)
The characters in Duma Key are so well developed. In some cases, Wireman and Elizabeth Eastlake may be the best King has come up with. I totally was hooked by them, cared about them, and genuienly wanted to find out what was coming. The setting of the Florida Keys in a breath of fresh air, considering most of King's works are set in Maine and New England. I love the ending at the delapidated mansion....just wonderful! I can't recommend it enough!

Great book by Stephen King. One of his better books in the last few years. His characters and story telling is back in this book.

Duma Key: A Novel
The chill is back. Though always enjoyable and masterful, it has been awhile since I got a real creepy chill reading a Stephen King Novel. Duma Key accomplishes this on more than one occasion. Vintage King with intriging characters and spectacular storylines. I couldn't put this book down for the last two hundred pages. My kindle thumb did not want to wait for my eyes to finish the page.
