LINK: Paging Doctor Sleep



Here is an interesting review of Doctor Sleep by Merab-Michal Favorite and Drew Winchester at The Bradenton Times.

The reviewers declares that King's classic horror novel, The Shining, is far more frightening than Kubrick's movie, which they found terrifying in itself.  In fact, the word used to describe reading the novel  is "trauma."  Of course, when a book makes that big an impression, the expectations for the sequel are gargantuan.  The review focuses on King's decision to take dramatically different approaches in terms of writing to the original novel.
While the tale The Shining is one unsurpassable in the minds of horror enthusiasts, it’s refreshing to see that King didn’t try to make a sequel similar to the plot of the legendary book. Instead, it’s a totally new take on Dan Torrance and I think it was the right call
