The great man hits another home run.
Where to start? Stephen King is a literary writer on a pedestal, and his latest novel further cements his place there.
I found his writing style in Doctor Sleep sounded more like Dean Koontz. He knows how to make you feel fully submerged in his characters' journey through Maine.
I liked the fact that King decided not to go with the scare tactics he employed in The Shining. This story is more about the characters and their journeys - and their growth as people. You can't help but root for Dan, and even the precocious Abra softens your heart by the end.
I would recommend this for readers new to Kings work. It is an easy read, but with plenty of activity to keep you enthralled.
Good work Mister King!
