Duma Key by Stephen King

I have just finished Duma Key and I must say, I think King is back in his groove.

His last couple of books, while not bad, were not the ‘cannot put down’ type. With Duma Key, he draws you into the story and makes you connect with his characters.

Well worth a read Muchacho
