Dr Sleep By stephen King, intro and part 1 reviewed

Hello there,

Before putting up the third part on the blog I prefer to get the first 2 articles together first before posting it, with reading the third part I now know how the book is going to go, and it isn't going to be much different from the ending of Needfull things

Dr sleep by Stephen king intro

Hello there,

I Started reading dr sleep while still having to write out the reports on another book, and I now read enough to review the intro, just to provide some other content than the things I was publishing the last few things.

So the things in the overlook hotel happened (yes the book is the sequel to the shining) and they have a settlement for the dead of the father of the family and the injuries. The son who is supposed to be the center of the book is still alive and kicking, he has healed physically but not kind of mentally.

He has still just visions of the lady in room 217. And he gets helped by the person who rescued them in the shining to get the visions of the lady, and it works. We skip to a cult like thing that a female gets recruited it because she is kinda talented. With a strange mist she gets transformed into something that is immortal.

Then we go to danny again, because he has grown up now and he has become a alcohol addict for some reason and he ends up in a filthy appartment riddled with cocaine and a baby that is not cared for at all.

My opinion about this part is that it is kinda weird what the fuck is going on. What is the mist, what role is the girl and the cult going to play or what is going to happen with danny?

Part one : abra

I think this is a bit confusing, we got a gang of people who live on steam that gets produced by children who have “the shining” die slowly. And also rather painfull might I add. Dannie is ofcourse an alcoholic because the drink makes his shining shut the hell up.

Abra grows up and contacts donnie at the moments he is sober for x amounts of time, in the hospice where he works and is being know as dr.sleep. He uses his talents to let the terminal patiants die when they're supposed to (they know this because of a cat, who tells who is going to die, this animal goes with a single person and keeps the dying person company) this is where danny comes in and relaxes the dying patient and it helps the patient accept his fate.

Like I said this chapter is a bit weird, we see abra grow up, dannie gets off alcohol and stuff and becomes dr sleep. But I'll start the next chapter now :)
