I'll tell you one thing, this book has not made my hatred for dolls subside in any way, shape or form. I think this book sets everything up perfectly - we need all those pages to really get a grasp on the subtlety in which things start happening. When I was younger, I felt these long winded tellings were TOO much and overly descriptive (and to be honest, sometimes now I do feel the same way). A door stopper of a book, King takes his sweet time letting us readers get to know his characters. ONE DAY!! And this is one of the things I love about King - is the interweaving of all his books in some way or another.ĭuma Key is subtle horror with a touch of supernatural.
I've heard this has a thousand tie ins to the Dark Tower series but I haven't finished my journey yet so didn't pick up on ANY of them. But nothing can compare to the friendship between Edgar and Wireman - I actually think Wireman is my favorite character! Their banter was SO much fun to read. It reminded me a lot of the relationship I have with my Dad. I especially loved Edgar's relationship with his daughter, Ilse. Instead, I found it to be more of character pieces while we learned about Edgar, Wireman, Elizabeth, Ilse. I didn't find this one particularly scary or horrifying. This one reminded me a lot of Bag of Bones, which is in my top 5 of all King books I've read. King has been with me through my childhood straight through to my adult years and his books always hold a special place in my heart. I actually started this last month for a group read but fell behind so almost a month later - TA DA! I did it! I finally made it through this monster of a book.
