Enjoyable, quick read. Finished in 2 days (between work shifts). Liked the concept a lot, but some of the 80s references felt like they had been tacked on just for the author to say “hey, look, another obscure 80s reference!” ... but I didn't feel like that detracted from the story too much. Would make a cool movie, that much I can say for sure.
Actually couldn't finish it. I couldn't connect to any of the characters, and none of them seemed to have any redeeming qualities that made me feel it was worth continuing with the book.
Stephen King does exactly what he's good at - telling his Constant Readers a story. Very enjoyable “sequel” to The Shining. I didn't even realize I wanted to know what happened to little Danny Torrance after the events of The Shining until King announced he was writing Doctor Sleep.
I will never look at steam the same way ever again.
I'm not normally into philosophy or religion or anything like that, but this book was an interesting way to expose people to concepts related to philosophy. Turns out I have a bit of a Tao personality!
