I'm curious to know if anyone else has listened to this book in it's audio format? I found Duma in a rental rack of audiobooks in a truck stop and the synopsis intrigued me so much I had to get it. The narrator John Slattery, seems to really nail the personalities of the various characters. I loved the story so much I listened to the CD's 5 or 6 times before I finally returned it wishing I owned the copy.
Once I would have said the "Dark Tower" books were my favs but "Duma" has surpassed that epic tale and made it into the number one slot. I loved it so much I bought a copy to have on my Ipod. I must have listened to it a dozen times and it never gets old.

I am a big fan of audiobooks. I thought Duma was great listening, maybe even better than the last of the Dark Tower series. You should also check out Bag of Bones read by SK or Insomnia read by Eli Wallach. Both are excellent.

Last week my wife and I spent the week in Florida, staying in the Sarasota area. We drove down from Pennsylvania, and decided to listen to the audio book version of Duma Key during the drive.
Didn't finish it during the trip down there, so any time we drove around while there, we popped the CD in and caught more of the story. We finally finished it on our last night in town, bringing the last CD into our house and listening on the stereo.
Great book, and a great reading by Slattery. It made it even more special to experience the book while in the Sarasota area, daily passing by the sites mentioned in the book. We even drove to the southern end of Casey Key just to make sure Duma didn't exist. ;-)
My first post here, but glad I found the place. Big King fan and I'll probably stick around and join in the conversations.
