Doctor Sleep by Stephen King


TITLE:  Doctor Sleep
AUTHOR:  King, Stephen
GENRE:  Fiction/Horror
DATES READ:  7/15/2014 - 7/30/2014
MY RATING:  4/5

Starting something a little different from my usual reading.  I'm a little nervous because Kind has always scared me until I get nightmares.  But away we go!

This one definitely wasn't as scary as The Shining, but it was frightening in it's own way.  I liked the connections found down the Torrence family tree, including the generation bridging ability, anger, and alcoholism.  It felt raw and real, as Stephen King's writing often it.  Sometimes you can't escape your past.

King hit the nail on the head with the one.  The villains and horror aspects were chilling, and leave striking images that last in your mind long after you've turned the page.  This imagery was so beautiful, I can only hope they make a film some day that does this book justice.  Highly recommended!

Will read and write soon!
