    It was the opposite for me. It started a bit slow and then got better as I went on. 4.5
    Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?

    4.5. Loved the book. Docked it half a point merely because it was a bit slow on the take off.

    I wish it had remained as slow, and was half again as long

    Yes, it seemed that after a stretch of singles, strike-outs, maybe a double or two, King comes in and hits a home run with Duma Key. It was so refreshing to see King again at his best, really knocking one out of the park.

    (Just keeping with the recent baseball theme...)

    I understand. You want to break bears in gently. Even using one of their favorite novels.
