Recently finished reading Doctor Sleep, another novel by Stephen King. So I thought, why not write a review for the blog while I'm at it?

Doctor Sleep is the sequel to 'the Shining', so warning for spoilers if you haven't read it/seen the movie yet! The book is about Dan Torrance's life after the Overlook Hotel, and after loosing both his father and his mother. Dan's an alcoholic, and his Shining has become numb over the years. He still has his traumatic memories though, and they never seem to leave him alone.

Dan meets Abra. Abra is a small child, a few months old. She's also miles away at the time of their first meeting. She tells Dan her name through the Shining, and a few years later the acquintance with Doctor Sleep will be needed. It will even build a border between life and death.

As always, King never seems to disappoint me. I fell in love with his litterature once, and it feels like I'm never going to fall out of love with it. The use of the English language has a nice flow to it, and the story continues even beyond the pages of the book, trigging the readers own imagination. I loved the way the characters connected to the readers mind.
