More on Doctor Sleep

     Doctor Sleep has continued to be very interesting, and has kept a descriptive track on Dan's life. Dan at this point has gotten a Job as a maintenance man in an amusement park in a place called Teenytown. He has had one or two more experiences with the Shining, but none have been deadly or scary, just him talking to dead people. Dan has also been able to live a more alcholhol free life with the occasional smoking here and there.

     One thing that I have been getting a little upset about in the book at this point is that there isn't any action or suspense. I am a very slow part in Dan's life in my opinion. However one thing that I do like that Stephen King does is continue to show his strong vocabulary. For now this is one of the best books I have read, but it isn't one of the most exciting, or the most suspenseful. I predict that one day when Dan is in the middle of his work cleaning the park he is going to be attacked by someone throught the Shining and will want Dan to be dead afterwards. This obviously the most "school appropriate" prediction, but Stephen King has a way of coming out of no where and having some kind of fight.
