I think The Shining was my all-time favorite Stephen King novel, growing up. The book (and the movie that followed) scared the kahoots out of me, and I loved being taken on that ride. So I went into Doctor Sleep with that bias behind me, and the excellent reviews to look forward to. And was NOT disappointed! The book does not hold back on character development - every single character is so rich and well-thought-out that you feel like you've gotten to know each and every one of them. Dan Torrence (the child from the original book) has grown up, and every page gives you so much more insight as to how and why the adult Dan is who he is. There's a fair share of paranormal and a good amount of suspense. I could not put this book down.
