Book Reviews of Duma Key: A Novel
Book Review: "Duma Key" By Stephen King
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want my thought on my Duma Key, I Think that it is a great book, i wouldn't go as far as saying that it's King's best but to me at least it's one of his best.
Duma Key tells the story of a man named Edgar Freemantle, Edgar is well I guess you might call him a billionare maybe si mabey no although he dose have a lot of money, the reason well Edgar runs his own construction company. One day while geting ready to go home Edgar gets into an accident it really is a horrible one, one that cripples him the accident causes Edgar to lose his right arm and badley hurt his right leg and if that wasent bad enough it also crushes his skull.
This whole thing puts Edgar in the hospital, Edgar who dosent really know who he is, who his wife is or what things around him are called. you might imange that this causes Edgar to do things he can't quite remember even when he's outside of the hospital back in his house. during one of his rehab/workout sessions Edgar's wife (Pam) comes in and anounces that she wants a divorce, the reasoning behind this Edgar hasent been the same since the accident and he strangeld her even though he dosent remember doing this.
during the process of the divorce Edgar goes to his tharpist Doctor Xander Kamen, Kamen asks Edgar if there was anything that he did before the accident. Edgar says that he used to sketch, Dr Kamen tells him to start doing this again soemthing he calls hedges in the night, he also tells Edgar to get a change of enviorment maybe move somewere for the next year or so. Edgar comes up with a few places and finnaly dedides on a place called Duma Key, Florida.
Edgar takes up his sketching and drawing again and finds out he's pretty good at it, an inner voice tells him that he should take up painting and well he dose, painting things that are Sereal basing his paintings on the work of Slavador Dali.
While in Duma Key Edgar Meets some people including the people next door to him on the key Jermone Wiremen and Elizabeth Eastlake.
No doubt Duma key will keep you up reading well into the night, one of my favorite King stories so far and a higlhly recomended one 5/5
