5feet.of.fury I LOVED this one. I felt like the emotional state of the characters was very fleshed out, Dan dealing with addiction, Lucy‘s depression caring for her aging parent & Abra managing the emotions of the adults around her. I loved the non stop action of the second half of the book, I didn‘t want to put it down. 12mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury yes! It was such an emotional book, you get so invested in these characters! I legit could not put this down and I‘ve already read it before! So so good and now I want to watch the movie! I can‘t remember if I saw it when it came out! 12mo
5feet.of.fury I often think that SK is slow to set up a story, & that was probably true here, having The Shining as a reference point, going through Danny‘s initial struggle, rock bottom & then trying to get his life back was a really good journey. Going through all that at the Overlook and trying to numb out psychic powers would screw anyone up. 12mo
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead I haven‘t watched the movie either but… I want too to. I‘ll have to rewatch the Shining miniseries again first. Not Kubrick‘s which King used his author‘s note to hate on. Lol 12mo
BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury I haven‘t seen that miniseries in ages! I may have to do this on Monday! 12mo
5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead same I probably haven‘t seen it since I was too young to be watching it 😂 12mo
BookwormAHN I loved it. @5feet.of.fury I almost forgot about the miniseries. I still need to watch Doctor Sleep as well 😺 12mo
TheNeverendingTBR Loved Doctor Sleep, I thought it was a brilliant sequel. It still feels unfinished, I feel like there should be more to Danny's story. 12mo
CatLass007 I haven‘t done a very good job at keeping up with my reading for the SK readalong. But I am familiar enough with The Shining and its sequel, Doctor Sleep. The Shining is my favorite of all the SK novels I‘ve read, probably because it‘s the one that has frightened me the most. I believe that Doctor Sleep is a worthy follow up to The Shining. For whatever reason, I didn‘t find this book nearly as frightening as the first book. But I still enjoyed it 12mo
CatLass007 I was sad that Danny became an alcoholic like Jack. But it is an inherited illness, and if Danny wasn‘t a little effed up after the events of the first book, it wouldn‘t have been believable. I guess readers are willing to suspend disbelief only so far. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 12mo
Karkar I would love if we get more story from Abra in her own book. 11mo
BarkingMadRead @Karkar that would be amazing! Stephen King loves Easter eggs and he has been known to revisit old characters, so there‘s hope! 11mo
so-so
