Hi, overall I enjoyed Duma Key. I haven't read anything by him in a long time so I really didn't know what to expect. I was expecting more from the ending after such a build up. I listened to this one on audio and the narrator was fantastic. Erin

I thought the ending was not only perfect for Roland, but for everyone. When King showed up as a character, I got mad - I thought he had taken the easy way out and was making the story more absurd than it needed to be. But with the events involving King in book 7, I realized that that was how it HAD to be. In fact, much of book 7 seemed to be putting puzzle pieces into place (as the final book in a series should do).

I must admit, when King was hit by that car, my first thought was "So we'll never know what Roland finds at the Tower." Fairly presumptious, I realize now, to assume that Roland would even make it there ;)

But you're right, I practicaly inhaled the last 3 books since they were put out so close together. I'm going quickly this time through, but am able to more fully enjoy the story (perhaps because I know how it ends).

Hi,

You left a comment on my 50 book challenge list asking about Jodi Picoult's Harvesting the Heart. I'm a hugh fan of her work but I can't recommend this particular book. Actually I didn't finish it, reading only 153 of 453 pages. It is extemely slow going. So much so that I gave up. It was her 2nd published novel, written in 1995.

You're quite welcome.

Pick up TAKEDOWN. It was a good read and I would recommend it. A knowledge of military terminology and map graphics would help though.
