  Who Says a Move to Florida Would Hurt King's Writing?
Review created: 09/05/08
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

After reading Stephen King's Duma Key, it is obvious that Florida's salt air and sunshine must agree with him. Like Edgar Freemantle, the book's protagonist, King seems to have found voices in the churning sea shells. The artistic style with which this book is written is like a refreshing breeze at sunset.

Edgar Freemantle, a construction company owner, is nearly crushed to death by a piece of equipment, losing an arm, and most of his senses, due to a head injury. On the advice of his psychiatrist he relocates to the Florida Keys, specifically to Duma Key, and moves into a house he fondly calls "Big Pink." Shortly after moving in, Freemantle discovers he has supernatural artistic abilities. But his talent becomes a liability when he realizes that his artwork influences real-life events and people. Treks along the beach, part of his physical therapy, lead him to a kindred spirit, Elizabeth. But when the ghosts of her past begin to appear to Freemantle, he begins to understand the true source for his talent.

Duma Key is a ripping good tale. King's writing has a deftness and poetic prose that has been absent from his work for quite some time.

  A Terrifying Talent------LARGE PRINT BOOK

King has written dozens of #1 bestsellers, some unforgettable and others forgettable, but with this new horror story I think he may be back on track like years before! This book takes on new ground for Mr. King. Hope to see a movie out of it.
The book explores an eerie stretch of Florida coast where Edgar Freemantle has come to build his life after an accident that cost him his arm and head injuries that leave him prone to uncontrollable rages and memory lapses. He ends up in Duma Key only because his Dr. felt he needed a change of place, a geographical cure. Edgar hopes that while here in Duma Key he can pick up the painting he use to love in his younger years. What he discovers, is that his talent is more powerful than he remembered. By that, it means that the things he paints become real! He also discovers that if he removes something from a painting, it will disappear in real life. Even people. He finally realizes that his newfound abilities are somehow tied to his elderly landlady, Elizabeth, but when the ghost of her past begin to appear, the real truth about his talent becomes quite terrifying. Now he must deal with the dark side of his talent.

  King at his best
Review created: 03/11/08

Another of King's wonderful tales of horror, right out of the same box of tricks he pulled some of his greatest stuff from. After an accident that severly disables him he moves to Duma Key in Florida where he takes up painting and finds out that his paintings have the ability of coming true. Without giving too much away, I think this would be a very good book for any King fan, especially a vintage King reader.

Get one for FREE!!! Have a look at this video first:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFKYVE__Mug

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally
takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you,
this is 100% real. I will answer you on any question! Here is what you
do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is
the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete
the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This
is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3
different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with
nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster
online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would
regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use
them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day
free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the
same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you.
After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people
(depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link
(just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your
referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your PS3 System or your selected item for free, I
chose the PS3 80gb System. No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these
companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all
the referrals. All you have to do is post it ! They use us as
advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes
toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as
Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you
want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own
personal link after your orders placed.



Step 1: Click this link http:
http://www.YourPS34free.com/index.php?ref=5173274

Step 2: Sign up and chose an account type (Referral is the easiest and
best).

Step 3: Complete just 1 offer (like Blockbuster or Stamps.com) and refer
up to 13 people to do the same (use eBay! Do what I did, copy my ad).

Step 4: Receive your PS3 System for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping Is
Free!!!)


For proof that this is for real, click on the link below. It's the
company that is behind everything.

If you have any questions feel free to message me!! I'll Respond ASAP.
If you want hints/tips about the whole process, I'd be happy to fill you
in.

Please take advantage of this offer!!!

I'm a bigggggggggg King fan - thought this one of his best. In a
way, the pain his main character suffers may reflect his own
when he was hit by a car
