il bello dei romanzi di Stephen King è che la maggior parte delle volte non è un mostro quello che tiene sotto scacco le persone, ma una cosa o un credo, una causa. tutte cose che cambiano il modo di pensare di una intera comunità. In questo libro il protagonista ha paura, e poi impara ad usare come arma, l'incidente che gli ha cambiato la vita, rendendolo menomato ma speciale. A fare paura è ciò che si è impossessato di una intera isola, uscito dalla fantasia di una bambina che non riusciva a comunicare con le parole ma con le immagini. stupendo il modo in cui le emozioni di Edgar cambiano, prima la paura della scoperta del suo potere e poi la curiosità per una sua possibile utilità e infine la convinzione di poterla usare a suo piacimento. grande storia, profonda e toccante.

here's another one i literally couldn't put down. i went home to visit my family for my brother's birthday, and as if i was thirteen again, at least six times my mother had to tell me to stop reading and come join the family. a friend of mine who's a die-hard king fan said this one is a lot like his older books in terms of plot, yet the writing is infinitely better - well, i can't judge old from new, being a relatively new convert to sai king myself, but i do know that once this book began i was hooked, and was not released until i'd finished the last page. this is a story about two things; one is the story of a man trying to re-learn how to be whole after a tragic accident, the other the story spanning almost an entire century, of a restless spirit and the island (and people) it inhabits. edgar freemantle is one of my most favorite king protagonists; maybe it's the first person narrative, or maybe it's just the blend of steel nerves and heartbreaking vulnerability that lends such a complexity to him and his story. i find myself actually at a loss to describe the experience of reading this book; i almost couldn't tell i was reading stephen king, and if i hadn't read lisey's story a week earlier i probably wouldn't have remembered at all unless i looked at the book jacket. king has really evolved as a writer and storyteller, and if duma key is a reflection of how his post-dark-tower novels are going to look, i can only say, keep 'em coming.
Read most of this but as per usual for SK what started out as a great read just got too long winded and uninteresting
King didn’t use anything new in this one. What made it for me was the characters. I haven’t had more sympathy in a protagonist in any other King books. Still, great villain, terror and shocks. Would recommend.
