Book Review of Doctor Sleep (Shining, Bk 2)

Doctor Sleep (Shining, Bk 2)
DieHard avatar reviewed on


Vintage King and that's a very good thing. As you probably know, this is the sequel to The Shining. The book starts a few years after the Overlook Hotel explosion and follows Dan Torrance into adulthood where he finds that he has not yet put his demons (both literal and figurative) to rest. This is a very entertaining novel. Great characters, the story moves quickly and King's writing is engaging. He doesn't ramble as he has in some books but sticks to the story and keeps things moving. If you are looking for a fright, you might be disappointed. Doctor Sleep is not scary but it is a book you will be glad you read.
