Doctor Sleep

[pastafreak]

...latest Stephen King. It's on offer(kindle verdion) on Amazon today. Has anyone read it? The reviews are glowing.

I've never read it Pasta - might give it a try.

[pixie374]

Me too, haven't read it yet.

[Old_Geezer]

Judging from the title, think I could do with a visit from the doc at the moment.

[pastafreak]

I dont think it's referring to a short sleep, O-G...;)

[Lie-in King]

It's actually been out since 2013 - I got it on Kobo a couple of years ago & thoroughly enjoyed it - might have a re-read... :-)

[pastafreak]

Ohhh...and there I was thinking it was new.
Think I may buy it.

It is a brilliant read, pasta, and brings us right up to date with 'young'Danny. I read The Shining immediately prior to reading Doctor Sleep as a 'refresher'. If you haven't read The Shining (Kubrick's interpretation was different to what King envisaged) i would suggest you do so.

Well the film sent me to sleep. I hope the book's better.

[Ken4155]

I nearly always find the books better than films or series. When reading the book, it is your own imagination that conjures up the pictures.

[bunkmoreland]

It scared me so much in the original book i could barely breathe.

The film 'The Shining' is no where near as good as the book. I had read the book long before the film came out, I found the film disappointing.

[bunkmoreland]

Like you tony, had loved the book and expected the horror to play through from the book!

[jno]

it's not his latest (published 2013) but a film's just been released.

In my opinion and experience the film is rarely as good as the book as you have your own ideas about it.
