Chilly Keys

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.

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.

King outdoes himself

Early Stephen King books were genre-defining, relatively simple gorefests that bridged the gap between horror junkies and the general reading public.

Somewhere in there, King started flexing his literary aspirations, and the last twenty years have been inconsistent. King's voice is always very evident and well-developed, but he's struggled to find that perfect balance between experimentation, ambition and pulse-pounding entertainment.

Books like Blaze have shown that King can boil pots with the best of them, while more complicated outings like Bag of Bones have shown a tremendous capacity for literary writing, but at the expense of a forward-moving plot.

I would call Dumas Key the first perfect blend of the old King with the new. The story is complex, multi-layered, and epic, as with most of his more cerebral works. And yet? It's fast-paced, emotionally stirring, and damned interesting to boot.

Narrator Edgar Freemantle is sympathetic without being a goody two shoes. The finale is bittersweet and unpredictable. And, like most of King's best work, the characters exercise a level of ingenuity that doesn't leave the reader rolling his eyes and asking "Why doesn't he just _____?"

If you don't like horror, or have already decided that you don't like King, this might be the book that changes your mind.

Hopefully, King will continue to write books of this quality, and Dumas Key signifies the beginning of a new golden age in his enormously prolific writing career.

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.
