![]() King is a master of creating friendships and developing highly likable characters. He really does a fantastic job setting up this beautiful and eerie atmosphere to which we are about to immerse ourselves in for the next 600+ pages. ![]() My favorite thing about the book is King’s description of the island’s geography, the sky, the shells, the house, etc. And with each painting he completes, he gets closer to the truth of the island, his newfound “gift,” and connecting all the dots. Nothing from that point will be the same! As Edgar settles into the house he has nicknamed Big Pink, he uncovers his impressive skills with a paintbrush. He ventures to Duma Key, which is gorgeous, remote, and mysterious. He loses his arm and suffers some mental setbacks, and as a result ends up divorced and looking for a new place to live. It is absolutely one of my favorite covers of his books.ĭuma Key is the story of Edgar Freemantle, who suffers a terrible injury after a giant crane crushes his truck. As I made progress with the book I would sometimes just turn and look at the cover and think, “Where is this going from here?” And now that I have finished the book, the cover just makes SO much sense and means even more. Sometimes a cover is indicative of how I will feel about a book, especially when the cover makes sense to what the book is about. Duma Key is a book that I have always loved simply because of the cover art. ![]()
