Rating:  - This book deserves way more than 5 stars!
Awesome, awesome book! Well done,Steve! One of his absolute best. Very cool characters and scary. I loved this book! Wireman was my favorite character. I could not put this down! I always had to know what was going to happen next. It was sad that Ilse got killed. I didn't like Wireman dying at the end, either. This book was well written. Extremely entertaining. Highly recommended. I got my sister to read this, and she enjoyed it. Her fave character was also Wireman.
Rating: - This is the best!
I'm only half way through this book and hate to put it down! Will add more when I am through.
Rating: - Stephen King is an Artist

One of the true great voices in American literature. Edgar Freemantle may be blessed (or cursed) with an almost divine talent to paint, but King has managed something even more ... Read More
Rating:  - will the real Stephen King please stand up?
I tried, I really tried. I wanted to like this, but couldn't stand it any longer after 450 pages and no terror. Stephen King has gone from being the master of horror to attempting to be literary. The only problem is he has done so at the expense of the story. He takes 700 pages to tell a 400 page story. I won't go into plot and character, the other reviewers have already done so. I just long for the colorful, atmospheric, thrill days of "Salem's Lot". Don't tell me you are going to nail me to ... Read More
Rating: - King at his highest level of literary mastery
This was my first Stephen King novel. Since reading it, I have backtracked to read his earlier works, only to find that "Duma Key" is among his best-written and most mature novel. The novel had me from the first page; I read it in three days (250+ pages a day!)
I rarely include comprehensive plot descriptions. I'll only say that the main character has a horrible accident and that the riveting first-person account of his recovery kept me hypnotized. His recovery in Florida gives King a chance ... Read More
