I watched the movie last year and I was curious to see how different the ending was gonna be, since in the shining movie, the overlook didn't burn down. Although it was a great movie, I barely remembered most of it and the book brought all the memories back!
SK Books are always amazingly written but sometimes also quite hard for me to follow. But the writing of this one was very clear, even though it still took me days to finish it 🤣
When I first heard of this book, I didn't know what to think. I really enjoyed the shining, to me its one of his best works, and I wasn't sure whether a Sequel was necessary. But it was. I loved Danny in the shining (the book, NOT the movie) and I love him even more now. He could have easily let Abra do her own thing and not bother to help but he did! And I love him for it.

in Doctor Sleep’s defence, I absolutely loved Abra and the other hero characters were all pretty likeable while the antagonists were disgusting and I wanted them gone. so characters were great but the plot just wasn’t really there for me.
