VORSICHT

Spoiler

I can say I absolutely loved the book. I think a new SK reader could pick up Doctor Sleep and enjoy it immensely, but for fans of The Shining, there are a lot of great moments where you feel the connection really come alive.

King avoids the usual traps of a sequel because he didn't just write the same story over again. (A lesser author would have already taken us back to the Overlook several more times in The Shining 2, The Shining 3, etc.)

Dan Torrance *feels* like an adult who was once Danny Torrance. The personal demons that haunt him are very real -- King puts his first-hand knowledge of alcoholism to great use.

There are so many great parts that could be spoiled if someone tells you too much before you dig in. In fact, I would strongly recommend everyone just put on blinders when it comes to the early reviews and go into the book fresh. Don't let anyone give away the moments that are so perfectly Stephen King that you want to read the book all over again as soon as you turn the last page.

Sorry, I know that isn't a lot of help!
