pickAdmittedly, the first time I picked up this book, I dropped it quickly. I found it slow (most of King's are) and I felt that I couldn't dive into the story. This time around, this book grabbed me and wouldn't let go. The fact that I had watched the movie adaptation may have influenced the aspiration to finish the story. Not my absolute favourite of King's but a classic!

so-soI have to say that I had incredible high expectations for this book. Unfortunately, I dismissed King‘s form of writing when developing these expectations. This is a wonderful sequel to The Shining, an insight into Dan‘s development and the aftermath of the Overlook Hotel. I found that the story moved too slow in sections, as it meandered through the important backstory.

pickA fantastic story, King does it again with his excellent use of dread. Right from the beginning, the reader understands what's going to happen but how will it end?

Marjorie stands over Merry‘s bed, hovering over her sister, which clearly recalls the found footage is-it-a-haunted-house-or-demon-possession movie? Paranormal Activity. Both camera angles and lighting are similar. Marjorie is dressed just like Katie, wearing boxers and a tight T-shirt. The Possession spices up the simple #dread of hovering over a sleeping loved one with Marjorie pinching her little sister‘s nose shut. #QuotsyOct19 #AllHallowsRead
