Doctor Sleep

Even though I enjoyed Doctor Sleep, I’m not sure if I needed or wanted a sequel to The Shining. As much I enjoy King’s schtick of bringing a disparate group of individuals together to protect a gifted child, I didn’t feel like any new ground was broken. I do think that it is interesting that King seems to find new ways to face his addiction and demons in his latest books, but at this point, I think that he should face it head on instead of prettying it up with the supernatural. A great quick read and a fascinating villain, but won’t stick to your bones.
