Duma Key --NOT what I expected!!!

**Rosethorn** · July 27th, 2009

First off, let me be honest.
I'm a hoarder of greenbacks and refused to read Duma Key when it first released because it was only available in hardback edition where I'm from.

FINALLY while browsing "My" section (aka: Stephen King, Koontz, and Rice) of our local Hastings i found in in soft-cover

I read it front to back in about 7 hours and just adored it.
I was surprised because I wasn't sure if I'd recieve a work from him done so recently as well as I like his 70's-80's era writings.

I LOVED the storyline, the plot, the characters.
I especially adored that Salvador Dali was mentioned as part of the story because he just so happens to be one of my favorite artists.

Perhaps I liked how relatable the story was to my own life and passions (Minus the missing body parts, of course)

Anyway~ Good read.
If you're scared to pick it up, fear no more!
It's a great book

It took me over a year to finish because I live alone and have huge picture windows in my diningroom/livingroom that undid me when the sea creature (the boyfriend or husband) paid his nocturnal visit to the Pink House, which I had read that day. So I would gingerly read a few pages and see if I suffered night terrors....And eventually, I finished--and loved it. I am originally from the Gulf region and I love to paint, so this was definitely a draw. But I just loved how creative the book was and how it kind of explained that creativitiy in terms of art as well as relationships, and relationships with art. I mean, in a way, a big aspect of relationships is dealing with loss--loss of an arm, a daughter, a family, a career, an entire island ( in the end)--and how processing those losses and forming new, sometimes deeper, relationships involves choice and creativity and vision. And what a vision of the Gulf, of mankind, was Duma Key!

Duma Key is a fabulous story and definitely my most favourite of Uncle Steve's recent books. As I have posted many times before....Wireman totally rocks IMO, and although it will never happen I would love to one day pick up a book about his exploits as a young man...he is a story waiting to be wrote in his own right!!
