Duma Key review

Title: Duma Key

Author: Stephen King

Paperback, 769 pages

Published 2008 (first published 2007) by Simon + Schuster Inc.

Cover rating: C

Book rating: B

Goodreads: 

Six months after a crane crushes his pickup truck and his body self-made millionaire Edgar Freemantle launches into a new life. His wife asked for a divorce after he stabbed her with a plastic knife and tried to strangle her one-handed (he lost his arm and for a time his rational brain in the accident). He divides his wealth into four equal parts for his wife, his two daughters, himself and leaves Minnesota for Duma Key, a stunningly beautiful, eerily remote stretch of the Florida coast where he has rented a house. All of the land on Duma Key, and the few houses, are owned by Elizabeth Eastlake, an octogenarian whose tragic and mysterious past unfolds perilously. When Edgar begins to paint, his formidable talent seems to come from someplace outside him, and the paintings, many of them, have a power that cannot be controlled. 

My review:

From a very general point, I liked the novel. The scenery was fresh, the story was original, and  he scared me a couple of times (oh oh and lots of cliffhangers too!!)
The story started all right with a good pace. It gets you a background about the guy and when strange things start to happen, the people he meets... I must  say it leaves you with a feeling that things are not OK although in the book they seem to be all shiny and wonderful.
After that, (around the middle the book-3/4) slowed down. I felt that the sales and gallery part was never ending and it was kind of dull. The last quarter of the book is jaw-dropping. It is fastly paced, creepy, and very well written. I couldn't stop reading!!
There is a twist in the story in the last last chapter(s), although I expected a little more detail and action.
For example, that sth happened with the skeletons in the tank when Edgar was trying to drown Perse.. like starting to walk or that the dead guys appeared in the tank or something.

Besides that, I really liked the book and how he used creativity and art not only as a way of creating beauty but also as a powerful weapon.

Red riding hood

I want to see this movie so bad! It looks so cool! It's a totally new way of telling the old red riding hood story, plus it takes it to a whole new level with the wolf-werewolf idea...It's  a got-to-see movie.

 Ari can’t help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can’t be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is.Her search for answers uncovers just one message from her long dead mother: Run.

Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it’s impossible to protect herself when she doesn’t know what she’s running from or why she is being pursued.She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different.

Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her.Ari won’t stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.

Duma Key advance

2 weeks almost-free from college!! I am so f* happy! (Yeah, once college traps you, it never lets you go) BUT that means it's finally time to finish Duma Key! There are only 200 pgs to go and I've got to say...King is scaring the crap out of me in these las chapters. The stupid cause is that I am reading before going to sleep, which btw I DO NOT recommended unless you are already used to King.

Anyway, I am enjoying this book a lot. It is suspenseful, with a lot of cliffhangers, and it leaves you dangling from the edge of your seat. I will finish it on easter vacations and hopefully posting my review soon!

Lesson learned: Read more in daylight. King teaches you to appreciate the sun.
