Duma Key: A Novel1 review
Stephen King

Scribner, 2008

Wonderful book

I've got to say - King has developed into one of the most consistently good reads out there. He is beyond the "Bright eyed ingénue" phase and he knows it - and is concentrating on turning out one great read after another. One thing I am very impressed with (And I am not going to mention any ...

+ Kiss Me Kill Me
+ I loved this book so much!!

Scarlett Wakefield has two wishes at the beginning of the year: 1) a larger bust size (okay, so that's really TWO wishes right there...) and 2) to have Dan McAndrew notice her. But Scarlett is so far removed from the cool crowd that she'll never run into Dan. At least her first wish has happened. ...

poignant

+ Excellent!!!
+ A powerful tale in a little book

I really wasnt expecting to like this book too much but I was happily mistaken. The character, Blaze, although on the wrong path, elicited my sympathy and I liked him and wished he could have been raised differently. All in all it was a good book.

Walk of the Spirits

+ Better than Stephenie Meyer's entire Twilight Series!!!

Kudos to McMann. This Book Rocks!

+ amazing. i loved this book.
+ Who knew a book about going to sleep could be so exciting?

I've always been fascinated with lucid dreams, and Janie's power to see other people's dreams is so creepily voyeuristic and awesome at the same time. Dreams are so intimate and being able to see them in the novel really gives the characters another dimension. There is so much to love about ...
