Doctor Sleep is a sequel to Stephen King’s The Shining, but you don’t have to read the
Shining to completely understand Doctor Sleep. I have not yet read The
Shining, but I have talked to someone who has, and she has read both books,
she has told me that The Shining is a story about Danny who has “the
shining” and in Doctor Sleep Danny is still the main character; the two
books just take place in different times of Danny’s life. So far I have liked Doctor
Sleep, even though it is basically a story about the supernatural. Just
like in the last book I read, Let Me off at the Top! This book has no
censorship and Stephen King tries to make his book as descriptive as possible.
So far I have only been able to get to the second chapter in
Doctor Sleep, and so far the first chapter is all about Danny as a kid and the
second chapter is about another girl who gets initiated into what seems like a
very secret very prestigious club. Also in the first chapter Danny has to fight
off and “lock away” two dead people that he can see. He also pays a visit to
Dick, a person that Danny knows and also has the Shining, from the looks of it
Dick seems like the only person that Danny can really trust. I expect to read
more about the dead people that Danny runs into, and what happens to Dick as I
continue reading.
