Doctor Sleep by Stephen King - Paperback

One of the most shivering books ever read

O produto nao é novo, mas está em ótimas condições, o livro nao chegou amassado, mas algumas paginas estão velhinhas, mas em ótimas condições. Comprarei novamente, eu amei mesmo gente, chegou antes do prazo especificado. Era tudo o que eu queria pra estudar!

If you’re thinking about buying it go for it. It’s a pretty good price and much more interesting than The Shining. Buy it besties

La secuela de "The Shining" es increíble. Disfruté mucho leerla. Son las primeras novelas de Stephen King que leo y quedé impresionado por la imaginación y las referencias que utiliza. El libro es compacto ideal para llevarlo contigo, me encantan las ediciones de bolsillo.

Well, I loved reading 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 so it was obvious for me to love 𝘋𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 as it was the sequel of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨.But If you're gonna compare it with 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 you wouldn't find 𝘋𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱 as good as 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 was.The scariest part of the book comes at the beginning when he is revisited by some of the ghosts from the Overlook.Those expecting a scare as good as 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 will be disappointed.•~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•Coming back to the story of 𝘋𝘤𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘳 𝘚𝘭𝘦𝘦𝘱!A few years after the Torrance family move out of the disaster at The Overlook Hotel and try to start a new life, Danny is still haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook. Mr. Hallorann however takes care of it, guiding Danny all the way to get rid of the evil and control his powers.Danny, a middle aged man now, still troubled with the horrified childhood.On the other hand there's a 'True Knot', of immortal people who takes steam from people with shining by torturing/killing them.Besides there's a teen-age girl, Abra Stone with immense shining and now in danger because leader of the 'True Knot' Rose the hat tries to reach out to her. Abra having known about this through her senses, reaches out Danny to help her in this.•~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•Although there was not much action till atleast I was well into the second half of the book.I must say the story was quite expected and I knew what was coming, but that didn’t change the thrill of reading it.I'm a King fan so for me it was a good read!♥️******************************About the book quality :1. I ordered 'The shining' and 'Doctor sleep' together. Both were not in right condition. I replaced 'The shining' but 'Doctor sleep', I couldn't. I don't don't know what was the problem.2. This book was dented from upside right corner of the cover which was disappointing. And more disappointing thing was that I wasn't able to replace it.3. Otherwise inside of the book was everything perfect. I loved reading it.******************************#Doctor sleep #StephenKing #OverlookHotel #DanTorrance #Danny

Just the other day, I was saying that sequels are not normally as good as the first book, well, Doctor Sleep completely disproved that theory. It far exceeded The Shining, in my opinion, and has become one of my favourite King novels!King has taken the best parts of The Shining, and carried them into Doctor Sleep. Not only did he keep the best bits, but he enhanced them. Danny’s ‘shining’ is brilliant, but Abra’s is next level, the extent of her abilities were so interesting to read about, simple and complex at the same time – simple in that you could easily read and understand it, but complex in that when you really think about it, it’s some next level stuff! What was fantastic was this novel comes with a range of supernatural abilities, varying in strength and wonder; the paranormal aspects of this novel were amazing!As a sequel, this far exceeds its predecessor, and that’s no small praise, because The Shining was very good! To enhance your enjoyment of this novel, you should read The Shining first, so, not only can you pick up on elements that have been carried over, but you understand the mention of previous events and past characters. There are some really clever things in this novel that you will miss out on if you don’t know the beginning of the story.“Because that was then and this is now. Because the past is gone, even though it defines the present.”Doctor Sleep joins Danny as a middle-aged man working in a hospice, and let me tell you, I adore Danny. His character was one you believe in with your whole heart, you can see that he is the boy you met in The Shining all grown up now; surviving his demons and ready to fight for Abra. And Abra is up against some tough adversaries, one being Rose ‘the hat’ O’Hara who has some telepathic abilities of her own. You witness some real battles of will power in this novel, psychological warfare. One thing King has mastered is his ability to create amazing antagonists, ones that, while you don’t like their characters, you appreciate what they do for the story.Abra is a brilliant protagonist, and it was interesting to see how she coped/lived with her ‘shining’ compared to how a younger Danny did. The relationship between Abra and Danny was so well done, they were both such endearing characters; to see Danny guiding Abra as best he could just warmed my heart, because I remember the trauma Danny experienced in The Shining and how he struggled with his ‘shining’ initially. Seeing Abra come to embrace hers, and test the extent of her abilities made for great reading.“The shining. It was a good name, a comforting name, because she had always thought of it as a dark thing.”Doctor Sleep is an addictive read, with some great characters – everyone that made up The True Knot were interesting in their own right. The suspense was felt, the plot intensified when it needed to, but most importantly this novel has so much heart, you become emotionally attached to some of the characters and this guarantees you’re invested in the plot and fearful for their survival, because we all know King has no issue killing-off his characters, whether they are main characters or secondary ones!I could talk about this book all day, I loved every aspect of it; without fail, it’s one of my favourite books of the year!
