“Great story-telling, as usual, but (did you feel a but coming?) I think the ending is anti-climactic. It reminds me of my reaction to the movie version of IT, when the monster appeared, at the end, what a wuss! Tim Curry, as the clown, was exceeding scary, much more than "It" itself. Anyway, to get back to Duma Key, I was sucked in, in a good way, by King's ability to tell a story and to make his characters come alive. As I neared the end, I was expecting a whiz-bang, genuine monster, not something made impotent by immersion in water!”
