Duma Key is the latest Novel by best selling author Stephen king. I must admit i am a big fan of king and Horror in general so take that for what it is worth. This novel has some typical King tendencies. The character build up is long and very in depth. I persona;;y have always liked this aspect of his writing but some people have told me that hate this and don’t read him for this reason. I tend to think it makes me care for the characters a bit more and have something invested in them, so if they are in danger it makes me care a bit more. This happened several time for me in this book. I really found myself caring for the characters and was very moved when they were in danger.These are some of the most believable characters he has ever created in my opinion.

King used the fact that the book was written in first person past tense to foreshadow some big moments, which i thought worked very well in keeping me interested. This book is not nearly as scary as some of his past efforts but it is not supposed to be. It does have a good bit of imagination and some nice thrills and a few solid scares. This is one heck of a ghost story. I drive allot for my job so i listened to this on audio book. It was well read and the reader was easy to listen to.

My rating 9.0 out of 10 for the book.

My rating 7.0 out of 10 for the audio book.
