Duma Key

March 25th, 2008

There is nothing like scaring the hell out of yourself in the middle of the night, when all the sounds of your home surround you and are amplified by the nightly silence, by reading a good Stephen King book.  This is exactly what I did (more than once) this past week as I read Duma Key.  As so often happens with Stephen King’s stories I found myself trudging through the first half of the book waiting for that moment when the tale would really get going.  I believe it took me over a week to read the first half of the book and only 3 days to finish the second half.  Once the story really gets going it is scary as hell!!  Trust me the villain in this book is not easily forgotten, especially when you close your eyes to go to sleep!  This is just another good book by one of my favorite authors.  I can’t wait for the next one!

So if you haven’t read Duma Key, go pick it up, and if you have read it, I’d love to hear your comments on the book.

For me, it all began in the early 1990’s on a hot, humid, sunny day in New York.  There I was, poking fun at one of my friends for spending all of her time reading a book while we were hanging out at the pool in FDR State Park. I was full of teenage angst and male bravado, but little did I know that my life was going to change with the following few words, "I dare you to read this book! I bet you can’t put it down!"

What are you kidding me?!!! It’s 85 degrees out, the sun is shining, and there are half naked women in bikinis everywhere. There is no way in hell some BOOK is going to tear me away from all this!!

Well… The book was The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice, and as you probably already guessed, I couldn’t put it down!!!

I haven’t stopped reading since, and my love and appetite for reading good books continues to grow. I think it would be interesting to read some fellow book lovers "first time" stories.

Care to share? I dare you!!!!
