Anyone else have problems with the dialogue?

Sorry....I know it's your opinion and I definitely respect it. But I disagree completely. I think it was very believable. Have you never met someone and had an instant connection? One of the salesman at work calls me "baby girl". One of the techs calls me "sugar booger". Another calls me "blue eyes". Sound ridiculous or condescending or sexist? Not in the least. None of them would DREAM of crossing a line and no one else is offended. It's just the way they talk to me.

I loved it and thought that Wireman talked like some people that I have known in the past so that made it pretty real.

I thought the dialogue was great! I loved the character of Wireman. Sorry muchacho, but you seem to be in the minority one this one.

First, I loved the book. The only problem I had was the that dialogue seemed corny? Just about everything Wireman says seems "fake" is some way. I some points I couldn't help but think, "This is just not the way two grown men talk to each other." Even the dialogue with the daughters seemed forced, like King was trying too hard to make every word in the book interesting. And he didn't need to do that because so much of the rest of the book is soooo good.

I loved Wireman, the story, dialogue, and especially Edgar's amazing artistic ability. Needless to say, I didn't really have any problems with Duma Key.

I agree with Bryan. Wireman seemed to fit right into the Florida I know. Stephen wrote a lot about about a place he has come to no well and he gave my new home (since 1982 if you can call that new) justice.
