My Review of Dr. Sleep by Stephen King
Did you ever wonder what
happened to little Danny Torrance after he survived a harrowing
ordeal at the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's bestselling novel, The
Shining? Thankfully, King saw fit to tell us the rest of the
story in a book called Doctor Sleep.
The story opens on a sad
note, revealing that Torrence is being plagued by a very ordinary
demon: alcoholism. After a series of tragic events, Torrence finds
himself in a small town in New Hampshire where he eventually gets
sober. It's about this time that Torrence notices a cosmic
connection with a young girl named Abra Stone.
Torrence and Stone discover
each other through some sort of ESP. Torrence discovers that Stone
is being hunted by a group called the True Knot which murders
children and uses their “essence” as fuel for life. The conflict
eventually leads Torrence back to the Overlook Hotel where he
narrowly escaped being killed by his father in The Shining.
Dr. Sleep is classic
Stephen King. The story features highly developed characters and a
plot that sucks the reader in and remains interesting until the very
end. I've read or listened to a number of Stephen King novels, and
he never disappoints http://stephenking.com
I have awarded Dr. Sleep
four out of five stars on my Goodreads Page
