This was a worthy sequel to The Shining, although I think I liked the first book better. This picks up many years after the first book ends, and watching Danny try to handle the fallout of his shining and his life after everything that happened to him is interesting. Danny, for all that he has som...
From Goodreads: Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining, in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining) and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe o...
Stephen King had a stretch where his novels were not very good, but lately he has been back on his game, and that is clearly in evidence in Doctor Sleep. The story is a sequel to The Shining, but the events in this novel don't follow what happened in the original. Danny Torrance, who was a young boy...
When I heard the first rumors online that a sequel to 'The Shining', I wasn't interested. What more could King possibly say on the subject? When I was given this for my birthday a few months back, I got the opportunity to get an answer. The answer is: not much? Dan Torrance's struggle with alcoholis...
"An evil place would call evil creatures."It hasn't been that long since I read The Shining, but I was still excited to catch up with Danny Torrance. I know some people have been waiting years for this sequel. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I wasn't. So Danny is all grown up and goes by Dan now...
Okay, I know my more literary side says this can't be that good, but it is. I could go on and on about why this might be King's best book ever and why, but it certainly is his best in decades. I have contended, against my more literati friends, that King is not just a great horror writer but a great...
Stephen King returns to some well-known characters in his latest outing: Dan Torrance, Dick Halloran ... and even Mrs. Massey and Mr. Derwent, straight from the Overlook. If these names are not familiar to you, you clearly have not read The Shining.Dan Torrance is an adult now, and he uses his gift ...
It took me a long time to start Doctor Sleep. I remember reading "The Shining" when I was a pre-teen and being scared to go to sleep for weeks without my handy flashlight next to me. I felt for Danny Torrance and his family as they were trapped in the Overlook hotel where people that were dead did n...
Awesome. Just freaking awesome. If you didn't know this about me yet, let me enlighten you....I am a HUGE Stephen King fan. And for a very long time now. I used to ride my bike up to the local used book store and buy his books when I was a kid, I think I was around 10 or so when I read my first Step...
