My Bookish Life Book Review: Doctor Sleep

Title: Doctor Sleep
Author: Stephen King
Genre: horror
Pages: 531
Rating: 5 stars

Synopsis: The Overlook Hotel was where his boyhood gift for shinning opened a door to hell . Dan Torrance is a man now, but ghosts of the Overlook- and his father's legacy of alcoholism and violence- kept him drifting for decades. Now sustained by an AA community in a New Hampshire town, Dan comforts the dying at a nursing home, where they call him "Doctor Sleep." But before his remnant power can fade forever, Dan meets twelve-year-old Abra Stone, whose spectacular gift pulls him into an epic war with an otherworldly tribe that reignited Dan's own demons and summons him to battle for the girl's soul and survival.

My Review of the book: This is a reread for me. I reread it because of reading The Institute. I just think there are some connections between the books.

I do love this book . I find it very interesting and hard to put down! I think Mr. King does some of his best writing when it's about either telekinesis or the shining .

One of my favorite King characters is Dan Torrance. I think this book makes him a very relatable character. This book also does a lot for his character in general.

If you are a fan of The Shining you will probably like Doctor Sleep. Also, if you like The Shining and Doctor Sleep you should check out The Institute. There really are some connections!

That's it for this update. If you have read the book leave your thoughts in the comments. Also if you like my blog please give it a follow. That's it for now. I hope you all have a nice evening and I will talk to you guys more later!
