Why not Duma Key?

[CCAL]

Duma Key is one of my favorites, along with Hearts in Atlantis,Liseys Story, and ofcourse most of SK's books. I'll share a moment about my reading choices here if you dont mind-I had a hearing to attend awhile back for disability. The Judge had to ask me a few questions when I admitted I still read. (I'd had a massive stroke & was paralyzed on left side at the time.)He was well aware that most stroke victims have difficulty reading & doing numbers,which I admitted , then he asked if I could recall what I had read ofcourse I couldnt so I admitted that my memory was real sketchy but told him I loved SK's books because I could open one at random & find something very descriptively written. Like a firld of gorgious red roses or fog creeping stealthly across an old cemetery. The Judge nodded, smiled and said I had answered enough to allow him to come to a decision...I was awarded my disability right away. He understood what I was trying to express. Now how many authors can transport you into another world simply by typing a few words? IMHO, not that many. Thats why I treasure our Stephen King and his wonderful ability to describe even something so fragile as a single rose in a vacant junky lot. :-)

Loved, loved, loved Duma Key!!! The friends I've lent it to loved it as well-one used it as a coaster and damaged the cover-so annoyed.

I enjoy a lot of SK's work. But my top 5 (non totally in the DT universe) books would be The Stand, It, Bag of Bones, Shining, and now Duma Key. Loved the characters and the story!

Duma Key THE MOST!

With the except of DT, Duma Key is my favorite King book of the past 10 years. I actually thought it had quite a few similarities in tone/theme to Bag of Bones, which I also liked quite a bit.
