“After a construction accident in which he loses his right arm and his divorce, Edgar Freemantle moves from Minnesota to Florida to begin what his psychiatrist described as a “geographic cure.” He rediscovers his love of painting and finds that he is good at it but his paintings seem to have something “more” to them. On Duma Key he also finds a new friendship with Wireman, a kindred spirit seeking refuge there as a caretaker for Elizabeth Eastlake. Elizabeth’s past also contains painful memories that have been reawakened bringing all of them together to face an evil entity named Perse.”
Well first off I adore Stephen King. He’s a fantastic author that can write in many genre….but…he has a tendency to drag out boring parts. This book could have ended 100 pages earlier than it did but I did enjoy it…
It had a great message about not giving up. Well in my opinion I saw that. Wth Edgar, Wireman and Elizabeth. Wireman was a little annoying with talking in first person. Even though it went with the story line I thought Pam was a complete bitch and couldn’t stand her π
The twist with the paintings, what happened after they were painted was so Stephen King. Can’t have a King book without some crazy voodoo black magic type shit πππ but it worked.
Overall it was an enjoyable read, even with the boring parts…
4/5 π
