It took me a while but, I finally finished Stephen King's newest release Duma Key. It took some time to get into. Perhaps the first 100 pages, more or less. And, it wasn't a can't put her downer. But, it was good, nonetheless.
And, it had one of the two most important ingredients for a good book...humor. There was a part that actually had me laughing myself to tears as two of the characters did something so funny that it had them laughing themselves to tears! And so, tears of laughter begot tears of laughter!
To give you a little idea of what this book is about, the main character, Edgar Freemantle, has a life altering accident. He moves to Duma Key to get away and, while things start to get better for him, things also start to go very, very wrong. In the end, he must play hero to friends both old and new, and loved ones in his old life. He takes some hits where his old life is concerened. But, one hit in particular gives him the fuel he needs to get the job done, once and for all.
