Duma Key

The first time I read this book, I was in Kansas with bupkis to do except read and trounce around in the woods. I remember reading this and [b:Under the Dome 6320534 Under the Dome Stephen King https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1511289992l/6320534.SY75.jpg 6760952] together, inhaling them over what was probably a week. Duma Key is the one that stands out the most to me, even though Under the Dome is certainly much closer to my life experience.King likes to say that writing is telepathy - and it shines through in this book. Everything feels so clear to me as I read, and I was surprised at how much stuck in my memory. There are certain scenes (and paintings) in the book that have always bounced around my brain, but sometimes as I read, I remember something I've forgotten just as it is happening, and it's a delight.This is probably one of my favorite King stories because of how tangible it feels.
